A mini statue of Chuck Norris has appeared on the Megyeri Bridge, created by Mihály Kolodko. But why Chuck Norris, and why here? ✨️‍

Before the bridge was opened, an online vote was held to decide the name of the bridge, and "Chuck Norris Bridge" received the most votes. However, it could not be named after him because in Hungary bridges can only be named after Hungarian citizens and only those who are no longer alive. That's why this work is here, and there are now more than 30 Kolodko mini statues in Budapest. 🌟️

Mihály Kolodko is a Ukrainian-Hungarian sculptor whose works belong to the category of street art. It took some time for Kolodko's mini-sculptures to be accepted in Uzhhorod and Budapest, but today these two cities would be unthinkable without them. Kolodko's works can be found in many other places, including Vác, Veszprém and Tihany in Hungary, and internationally in cities such as Stockholm, Venice and P**a.

The tiny sculptures are very popular and attract many visitors, fulfilling the artist's aim to make people smile, stop and think.
In Budapest, the story of Kolodko's mini-sculptures began with a cartoon character, "Főkukac", which you can find on the banks of the Danube. Then came a tiny tank sculpture, followed by Kermit the Frog from The Muppet Show. You can even find Mr. Bean's teddy bear and the famous Hungarian invention, the Rubik's Cube, if you keep your eyes open. 🕵️‍♂️

So the next time you're in Budapest, let Continental Travel guide you through the city as you explore the many amazing mini masterpieces. Explore with us and discover the hidden gems that make this city unique! 💫
