    History of lighting technology

    The tirelessly searching human mind that can never rest has found the method with which it can outsoar the light of the inaccessible “sun” that allows it to conjure fairy light from dark skies and created daylight from the night. And all these immortal achievements have been reached by electricity that has been peeked and riddled from the secrets of nature.” – Kiskunhalas, 1898. Our weekly exhibition is going to guide you into the world of the development history of lighting technology, with the aid of archive photos from our database.

    Celebrating the Day of Hungarian Science, a brief history of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA)

    The idea of founding an Academy did not first arise in the Hungarian Reform Era, the thought of a academic society was already in the mind of the scholar and polymath Matthias Bél. The story of its foundation is probably familiar to everyone. Today, on the 3rd of November, Hungarian Science is celebrated, and we pay tribute to this special day with the history of the Academy.

    Meet the Hotel Gambrinus

    Guests returning from a hydrotherapeutic treatment in Hajduszoboszlo used to ask each other not if the water was good, but "have you been to the Gambrinus?" No wonder, since it was already referred to as one of the most beautiful hotels in the Northern Great Plain region of Hungary at the time of its opening. Find out what life was like in the former hotel in our current exhibition

    The Bulgarian community in Hungary

    Bulgarians are one of the thirteen officially recognized nationalities of Hungary. The Bulgarians living here are usually identified with the Bulgarian gardeners, although their traders were also well represented. Until the middle of the last century, a metropolitan market was almost unthinkable without the presence of Bulgarian gardeners. In fact, they revolutionized our horticulture by laying the foundation stones for modern vegetable growing. This week, we pay tribute to the Bulgarian community living in Hungary.

    Victor Vasarely and the Op-Art Movement

    Op-art is a lesser-known artistic style, but it is one of the most unusual movements. It challenges not only the eye but also the mind to interpret it. Op-art is short for "optical art". The brilliance of the paintings lies in the fact that the painters usually create an optical illusion on the canvas, with a cavalcade of geometric shapes and colours that give the impression that the patterns are moving and floating.
