Budapest Museum of Fine Arts opens van Gogh exhibition
Culture Minister István Hiller on Saturday opened an exhibition of nearly 80 paintings by the 19th Century Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh to mark the Museum of Fine Art's centenary. The show runs until March 20.
Organisers expect the exhibition to shatter the institution's current record of 550,000 visitors, set by an exhibition titled "King Matthias and his Era" in the 1980s.
