The European Heritage Days are a widely celebrated cultural event shared by the citizens of Europe, when numerous monuments and sites open their doors for the public, allowing them to enjoy free visits and learn about their shared cultural heritage. This is the sixth time that CEU welcomes visitors and shares the heritage value and history of its buildings both for the broader public and for members of its own community. The guides are students, alumni, and faculty members of the Cultural Heritage Studies Program at CEU.

15:00 Urban Treasure Hunt around CEU: “From the Danube Palace to the Michael Jackson Memorial Tree” / "A nagy lipótvárosi nyomozás – rejtélyek a Duna Palotától a Michael Jackson-emlékfáig" (in English and in Hungarian). Meeting at Nador 15, Front Desk
A treasure hunt about music, the traces are music, the solution is music, the reward is music – both for musicians and for non-musicians. The area called Lipótváros in the Fifth District of Budapest has preserved many important memories and memorials about music: Franz Liszt, Richard Wagner, Béla Bartók, as well as Antonín Dvořák were all connected to this part of the city. Explore the heritage sites and buildings, memorial plaques and public monuments of Lipótáros with your team, find out the stories connected to these, and by solving the quiz, investigate after a lost musician, without whom there will be no concert in the evening.

They have their rehearsals in the living rooms of their apartments, and they perform in art galleries, churches, and apartment concerts. Now they will perform from Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D major, a piece by which, according to the legend, even Tolstoy was moved to tears.
