Restorers will soon be hard at work repairing the monument commemorating Budapest’s National Theatre, that once stood on Blaha Lujza tér. Controversially knocked down in the 1960s, the theatre was most famously graced by actress Lujza Blaha, after whom the square was named while she was still alive.
The sculpture was originally placed on a green area of the square but this section was later concreted over, removing the lower part of the inscription. Now, with Blaha Lujza tér being renovated, after it’s put back in place, the whole statue will be fully visible.
