Intermezzos, scandals, reports on activities of rich artists, period crimes, adverse weather – just a couple of examples from the news articles related to Siófok once. In our weekly virtual exhibition, we have selected old postcards and stories connected to the capital of Balaton.
Pécs was famous not only for the Zsolnay ceramics, but also for Gyula Varga’s car factory, though one can hardly hear about his merits. Our latest selection may offer an enjoyable reading to car lovers primarily. However, the photos of the family Varga revive an exciting period and naturally, you can have an insight into the life of a family as well.
The digital chamber-exhibition of the Piarist Museum is offering a representative selection from different depictions of the Virgin Mary preserved in the collection. Scenes from Mary’s life, universal symbols of Marianism, and copies of icons and statues of Mary shrines related to the Piarist Order and Hungary appear on 17th-18th century Baroque engravings.
If you ask people in the streets of Hungary about János Neumann, it is likely that they will know his name and will answer: „he is the inventor of the computer”. This is a laurel that was never sought by the scientist, who was born in Budapest, in a house at the corner of Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Street and Báthori Street in 1903, and as a “wonder child” he graduated at the Fasori Evangelical Secondary Grammar School among László Rátz’ students, to become a chemical engineer, and later an internationally renowned mathematician, the Man of the twentieth century.
As part of the Paris Peace Conference that closed the World War I, the Treaty of Trianon was signed at the Grand Trianon Palace of Versailles one hundred years ago on 4 June in 1920. The peace treaty – or dictate in certain sources – defined the new borderlines of the Kingdom of Hungary due to the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. In this week’s virtual exhibition, we are commemorating the historical Hungary with a postcard compilation issued during the “happy peacetimes”.
Besides searching and browsing digitized cultural contents, visitors can view thematic virtual exhibitions from the records of MaNDA’s database, which are widened weekly. Our aim with the exhibitions is to introduce the cultural contents of the database in a new context, in a way that they would never be in the same virtual room otherwise, due to their spatial, legal or formal features. You can see our former exhibitions under this menu.
During the period of the Swedish EU presidency in April 2001 in Lund, representatives of the then 15 Member States formulated their demand that a breakthrough in the field of cultural digitisation was necessary. One of their most important issues was that a cooperative forum should be created in order to put cultural digitisation in the European dimension and the accessibility and visibility of the European digital cultural heritage must be promoted.
