Ferenc Puskás Museum (Budapest Hungary)

Description

This museum is dedicated to the world’s most famous Hungarian: the genius of football, Ferenc Puskás.

The Puskás Museum is a place of cult significance. It is part of the vast group of buildings at the national stadium named after Ferenc Puskás, and is the only remaining part of the old Népstadion (“People’s Stadium”). In the 1950s Puskás and his teammates worked on building that shrine to football, which became the home of Hungary’s world-beating Golden Team, “The Magical Magyars”.

The Puskás Museum presents the life of the world’s most famous and popular Hungarian, Ferenc Puskás, and his homes – from a single room in Kispest to a luxury apartment in Madrid. It also presents his teammates, coaches, opponents, and the era in which he became the darling of the nation and the sporting world’s first superstar. In this we have incorporated many of Puskás’s original trophies, documents, items of furniture and personal possessions – as well as the most important, beautiful and exciting of the thousands of photographs and film clips of him from around the world.
