After large family gatherings, noisy feasts, visits to relatives, loud New Year's Eve parties, it can be nice to wrap yourself in the silence of the museum and surround yourself with culture. Enjoying an exhibition to your liking at your own pace can be a demanding and relaxing me-time before grinding into the rush of the year. We give you some ideas of where to find what
The first recommendation of our subjective selection may primarily be of interest to those open to nostalgia, history, human destinies or international relations. The temporary exhibition of the Castle Museum of the Budapest Historical Museum awaits visitors between the beginning of December 2021 and March 27, 2022, who are interested in the official framework and human aspects of the so-called International Children's Train Campaign, which operated between the two world wars, is curious about his subjective recollections and fruitful results. The title of the temporary exhibition is apt: Destination: hope.
A very nice Swiss family has been a friend of my family since the 4th generation.
The bond is passed down from generation to generation like a family jewel.
The annual visits and postcards, long phone calls are passed down from father to son, mother to daughter in the family, but we hardly know where this bond spanning thousands of kilometers and many decades comes from. While poring over the details of this exhibition, my eyes especially lit up, well, from here! Many times we have heard the vague story about a kind of student exchange program, with which between the two world wars, Hungarian children could spend summer vacations, weeks, months, sometimes years abroad with host families. The special time spent in Switzerland, Belgium, or elsewhere was a decisive experience for many Hungarian wartime children who deserved a better fate, a foreign language experience, a cultural discovery trip and, last but not least, a weight loss cure. I don't have to go far to prove the many positive effects of the program, but perhaps the families of the readers were also affected, since it involved a larger group than we think. Even if there is no personal involvement, the exhibition offers an interesting time travel.
Painting
Staying still within the boundaries of the last 100 years, but rather affecting the soul through the aesthetic sense, it can present a fresh and colorful experience temporary exhibition of MODEM Paris Abstracts, which can be viewed until January 30, 2022 meg The exhibition, which features almost 100 paintings and sculptures, evokes such artists as Wassily Kandinsky, Frantiaek Kupka, Jean Apr. In addition to their works, the works of Hungarian artists can also be viewed, for example László Moholy-Nagy, Étienne Beöthy, Lajos Tihanyi and Martyn Francis. Most of the works coming from the Center Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Belvedere in Vienna, or the Musée d'arts de Nantes in Nantes are the largest ever official non-figurative grouping, which in the 1930s brought together the greats of more than 20 countries, It consists of works of art by Abstraction-Création.
Those open to a more classic aesthetic can enjoy the art of Pál Szinyei Merse until February 13, 2022 within the framework of the temporary exhibition of the Hungarian National Gallery. The Kép és cultus exhibition would have originally opened in 2020, on the 100th anniversary of the death of the painter who lived between 1845 and 1920, had the pandemic not intervened. Of the approximately 120 masterpieces presented, more than 20 are foreign, coming from masters such as Monet, Sisley, or even Corot.
Food for the taste buds, theory
If you have managed to be sufficiently enchanted by the masterpieces of high culture, after spiritual and spiritual nourishment, you deserve a little sweet relaxation, at least on a theoretical level.
Chocolate can find a place in the list of pampering programs.
The interesting novelties made it fat Chocolate Soldier c. temporary exhibition at the Hungarian Trade and Hospitality Museum (Kultea), III. in the district, until May 1, 2022.
This compilation, which spans historical periods and the Aztec patent, can tell quite a lot about the life of chocolate. It turns out, among other things, that Artúr Gombóc is far from being the best-known chocolate fan, on an international level they certainly precede him in this passion: Napoleon, Strauss, or even General Hindenburg. The title of the exhibition is Strauss's operetta of the same name,, which not by chance connects chocolate to warfare. This is the theme that gives the main frame of the exhibition, beyond the delicious taste of sweets, the sad depth of its role in the war.
What else could end a day of self-care, rich in such exhibitions, sophisticated and classy, in style, than a delicious hot chocolate in a pleasant cafe.
