this was a fun one for me. (answer, and some amusing not-answers, in the comments).

The rotunda housing the Feszty körkép, the 1896 circular painting of the Hungarian invasion of the Carpathian basin.

Bingo! Congrats also to [livejournal.com profile] qwrrty, [livejournal.com profile] mangosteen, and [livejournal.com profile] jered, the latter of whom included a nice description of the thing in the building. What's fun about this one for me is that while Google Maps has tons and tons of images of the building (just turn on "Photos" in the "More" tab), none of them are helpful at all! They just show the building, not the painting, and none of their captions say anything other than the name of the town (which is easy to get anyway) and "Rotunda" which is pretty obvious.

Can't be a moose hatchery. http://www.panoramio.com/photo/16682011 clearly shows that it has three doors, not one.

An intramural velodrome. Obviously.

(I decided against my "famine" icon.)

There not being an "Art" card, you went with this? Hmm. Civil War might have been closer, considering the topic of the painting.

"NOT ART" was more of a comment on my attempt at referring to the answer through oblique puns. I decided that hungry/Hungary would be too much.

I haven't made an icon out of Civil War because I couldn't forsee needing it. Apparently I was wrong.

I suppose the summer flea could be held there, which I guess could be fun. Possibly this cyclorama has better ventilation.
