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.

Visitors are awaited at craft instruction sessions, craft shows, folk puppet theatre, infant lap games, children's dance instruction and concerts, storytelling sessions, publication and ticket sales, and the folk playground of Fabatka Porta.
 

Dance lessons, unique dances, renowned musicians and a frenetic atmosphere awaits dance lovers every Saturday from 7 p.m. in the Atrium of the Vigadó of Buda.

The venue of the dance event is a symbolic space: concert halls, restaurants, bars and village pubs, etc.

It is the first time in the history of Hungarian stage folk dance that the multi-coloured traditional cultures of the peoples living in the Délvidék (the region of historic southern Hungary, now partly in Serbia and Croatia) – Hungarians, Serbs, Croats, Germans and Romanians – have been presented.

The performance of the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble is an anthology-like selection, a journey across ages and borders, inspired by the folk traditions of Hungarians and minorities sharing a joint destiny of the Carpathian Basin.

In the new performance of the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble the special traditional culture of the Hungarians living in the Carpathian Basin come to life through the special, contemporary, theatrical worldview of the creators of the performance.

The dance performance of the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, which is in keeping with the celebration of Easter, draws on the liturgy of the various Christian denominations as well as on the ancient peasant folk customs and songs of the far-flung regions of the Carpathian Basin.

The joint spectacle features treasures and works of various artists and groups, including choruses, bands, dance ensembles and painters. 

The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble brings the atmosphere of this imaginary marketplace to the stage, focusing on creating historical horizons from fragmented memories rather than aiming for completeness, and using the poetic language of folk dance and folk music instead of dramatic enactment.

The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble’s exciting performance presents Christmas Eve, the Christmas vigil and the joy and excitement of waiting, the games and traditions of folk origins and the Christian tradition of welcoming the birth of Jesus, as well as the atmosphere of magical fairy tales which envelopes this day.

After taking inspiration from Bartók and Kodály in previous productions, the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble is again turning to Hungarian classical music for inspiration, this time from the work of Ferenc Liszt.
