There are a lot of strange and wonderful museums, buildings, and churches in Budapest. It is a wonderful city in which to stumble upon amazing hidden places, often feeling like you’re the first person to discover it. One of those places is housed in Vajdahunyad Castle in Budapest’s City Park. It doesn’t sound exciting at first – the Agricultural Museum – but just up a flight of stairs is the Hall of Hunting, or as I saw it, a Cathedral of Antlers. “Hundreds of antlers, horns, hooves, and fur. Stuffed birds and mounted bears. Cutlery with horn handles carved into foxes. Antler broaches, antler chandeliers, and antler chairs. With beautiful vaulted ceilings and stained glass windows, along with the fact that the Agricultural Museum is often empty, this top floor feels like the church of a long lost deer deity. Echoed footsteps and hushed whispers lend a quiet respect to these relics of the hunt.”
