Located alongside one of the most famous paintings at the Hungarian National Gallery, Tivadar Csontvary Kosztka’s, ‘Ruins of Greek Theatre at Taormina’, The Morgan Stanley Chess Café is open from 10:30 to 17:00.
Join us in the Chess Café to challenge a master, meet the Polgár sisters, play a game of giant chess with family and friends – or to simply relax while watching the programs taking place on stage throughout the festival.
