The House of Houdini, Magic museum in Castle District, Hungary
The House of Houdini displays the largest European collection of artifacts, including handcuffs, personal letters, and original props from the famous illusionist.
David Merlini established this European museum in June 2016, creating a central meeting point for magicians and illusion enthusiasts from around the world.
Erik Weisz, later known as Harry Houdini, started his journey in Budapest in 1874 before becoming a worldwide master of escape performances.
Located at Disz Square near Buda Castle, the museum requires advance reservations and operates daily from 10 AM to 7 PM with entrance fees of 13 euros.
The entrance features a replica of the Water Torture Cell with 52 roses representing each year of Houdini's life, while a large safe opens through answering questions.
