We show not only what it once was, but also how we think about it in today's world. 

It is no geographical journey alone, but also a time travel, as the ancient Asian roots of our folk music appear just like the pieces that have inspired several worldwide celebrated Hungarian composers. It is an imprint of the music and dance of Europe's thousand-year history.

The fundamental motif of Lorca’s last, masterly written drama is the tension between confinement and the desire for freedom and fulfilment. The piece draws attention to the constraints imposed on female identity, as well as the limitations to women’s physical, mental and spiritual autonomy within a patriarchal society. The questions that arise in the play remain relevant to the present day.

A unique dialogue between fashion and tradition on the stage of the Hungarian Heritage House.
 

Our show gives an insight into these people's lives while walking us through the 20th century, which changed everything for good. 

The Museum of Hungarian Applied Folk Art's jewellery collection consists of pieces inspired by folk motifs and produced by 20th—and 21st-century folk artisans and designers.

Colourful, varied and exciting. This is true both for the present existence and visual capture of Hungarian folklore. Among the two dozen exhibiting photographers, we can find an Artist of the Nation, Péter Korniss or others who have been capturing folk traditions for decades, like Béla Kása or Gyula Ádám.
