An exciting could be seen by curious onlookers in the city’s lights on Monday morning. At the highest point of Buda Palace, home to the Central Bank of Hungary’s Supervision Centre and Money Museum, the silhouette of an unfamiliar face, the Umbrella Man’s, loomed high on the air on the morning of Monday, the 22nd of July.
The Central Bank of Hungary is 100 years old, and the centenary celebrations have inspired artists, including the Hungarian stuntman known as the Umbrella Man, who teamed up with photographer Péter Kálló to create the project.
The Umbrella Man most recently appeared on the roof of the Puskás Arena, but he has also appeared on the Fire Tower in Sopron, the Liberty Bridge, the Ferris Wheel in Deák Square, the Spherical vista in Balatonboglár, the top of the St. Gellért statue and the highest point of the Kelenföld Power Plant.
A video of the event is available here.
