SCHOOL GROUPS
Are you ready for an unforgettable journey?
Witness Budapest's history!
The capital offers countless programs, but few places let students explore history in a way that’s both immersive and accurate. Time Machine Budapest does exactly that: a ~100-minute, guided “time-travel” experience that takes you from the vision of unifying Buda, Pest and Óbuda through the pivotal moments of the 19th and 20th centuries all the way to today. The content was developed in collaboration with professional historians and is based in original sources. Holographic projections, mist-screen visuals, VR technology and authentic sets make the experience truly unforgettable.
Visits operate in timed sessions: up to 15 students per session. For larger classes, the group experiences the exhibition in 2–3 staggered sessions, starting 30 minutes apart, so the total program duration depends on the group size.
