Kolodko: Elek Mekk, the Handyman

Budapest boasts a lot of beautiful scultpures throughout the city but did you know there are over 30 mini sculptures dispersed throughout as well? Made by Hungarian-Ukrainian artist Mihály Kolodko, they are a lot of fun to discover and to learn a small bit about Budapest history as well! Below you will find a list of where all the mini sculptures are located within Budapest and the towns nearby. Have fun!

For art lovers who would like to explore Budapest and are up for a challenge in the meantime. This uncommon guide invites you to take a walk on the Buda side, and see some of what Hungary’s capital has to offer whilst visiting Kolodko’s miniature sculptures.

What makes a sightseeing tour fun? Especially when kids are around? Conventional tour buses are okay, but I rather try to find alternative ways to explore a city. For this, I have an amazing idea. 🤩 Budapest has been conquered by mini sculptures made by Mihály Kolodko - a Ukrainian sculptor, who moved to Budapest in 2017. These mini sculptures are mostly made out of metal & after installation, he usually posts only a photo (maybe a hint) on socials, about the location of the new addition. IMAGINE a family approved sightseeing tour in Budapest, where the small child(ren) can play ’treasure hunt’ searching for these art installations, 🕵🏼 while the whole family gets a unique glimpse of Budapest’s city center. Personally, I love unique ideas & for me it would be a perfect alternative approach for a traditional sightseeing tour.
