The Museum of Ethnography is set to unveil a series of innovative exhibitions in 2025 that focus on cultural preservation and education. Deputy State Secretary Máté Vincze emphasized the museum's commitment to maintaining high public interest following last year's successful permanent exhibition.
The first exhibition, opening on January 22, will showcase various types of the Hungarian zither, featuring around 3,000 folk instruments from global collections.
A second exhibition, 'Hungary in Color,' will present hidden photographs from 1862, highlighting folk costumes in contemporary settings.
Additional exhibitions will explore the lives of Danube Swabian women, the history of Hungarian patchwork, and the evolution of leather-hard pottery.
Director General Lajos Kemecsi highlighted ongoing research initiatives, including the 'MaDok program,' aimed at enhancing the museum's offerings through new exhibitions and publications.
