Ball Marks Start of Hungary's Renaissance Year

English

The Mare Temporis Foundation for Historical Tradition will kick off the evening with a re-enactment of King Matthias's coronation at 21:00. A Renaissance "casino" will give visitors the chance to win magic potions and other prizes with a role of the bones, and a wooden mechanical "astrologer" will offer horoscopes. "Royal chef" Attila Németh will present a Renaissance menu.

 
Admission to the event, which runs until midnight, is a token HUF 550 - the number of years since King Matthias, Hungary's Renaissance King, was crowned.
