A familiar figure on Hungarian TV screens four decades ago, the Skála Kópé is now depicted by Mihajlo Kolodko with his heart on the outside, reference to the catch phrase that the former department store would win over the hearts of shoppers.
Pioneering for its day, the Skála Metró building was unveiled in 1984, a state-of-the-art department store in Socialist Hungary. In its heyday, it would attract 30,000 shoppers through its doors every day. It now houses other retail outlets, at a prime spot right opposite Nyugati station.
The Skála Kópé is the latest in a long line of Kolodko statuettes, others including the cartoon character Süsü and a diver fishing out the key of the New York Café from the Danube.
Legyetek ott első városi piknikünkön!
Gyertek, és töltsünk el egy vidám napsütéses tavaszi napot együtt a városligeti fák lombjai között május 1-jén, ahol day-time piknik, workshopok, sok szuper food truck és dizájnvásár is vár mindenkit.
Ünnepeljük együtt a tavaszt, a találkozásokat és azt a pezsgést, amiért annyira szeretjük Budapestet!
