Király Street (or Király utca), also known as Budapest's Design Street, is filled with interior design and furniture stores, funky boutiques and modern art galleries. Király utca used to be the outer boundary of the former Jewish quarter. Király Street was not always the place of entertainment. There were periods when the bitter smell of tannin filled the air, indicating the leather industry of the area, but the formerly cobbled street was once a home of a silk factory, for decades an institution for blind people also operated here. Several prominent figures of Hungarian history were born here, for example Eugene Paul Wigner (Nobel Prize winner physicist), Leo Weiner (composer) and Gyula Kaobs, (a famous actor from the beginning of the century.)
