The exhibition blends artworks and playful spaces where the cats live, so you may spend time watching them interact with the environment as well as with visitors. The cats are social and friendly by nature, though each animal’s mood can vary. You should note that cats naturally like to nap during the day. The team cannot predict in advance when each cat will be active or in the mood to play, so some animals may be resting during your visit. As part of the museum’s adoption programme, cats may be available for adoption, but this is only possible for residents of Hungary. Children under 8 years old are not allowed.
