From Degas to Picasso
The nearly sixty works of art to be exhibited in the Museum of Fine Arts from the beginning of 2010 are Impressionist and Abstract masterpieces borrowed from the collection of the Pushkin Museum, Moscow. This exhibition embracing the achievements of painting of 60 years is in fact a brief summary of the history of arts in the given period, and presents the masterpieces of painters like Cezanne, Courbet, Gauguin, Matisse, Monet, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec and Van Gogh.
LATE-BAROQUE IMPRESSIONS
The exhibition presents the art of Francz Anton Maulbertsch, one of the most talented painters of the Central European region in the 18th century, and his outstanding disciple, Josef Winterhalder, to the Hungarian public. Maulbertsch moved to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna from the Boden lake, and continued living in the “city of emperors” until his death.
The Alchemy of Beauty - Parmigianino drawings and prints of the Museum of Fine Arts
The graceful elegance of Parmigianino’s (1503–1540) works was regarded by his contemporaries and the succeeding generations as the perfection of style. Although the Museum of Fine Arts does not preserve any of his paintings, however, we own an extensive collection of his drawings and prints. Parmigianino was a passionate and prolific draughtsman. Almost one thousand sheets have survived, representing the richest drawing oeuvre of sixteenth-century Italy, with the exception of Leonardo. The diversity of the themes and techniques of the twenty autographed drawings in the Collection of Prints and Drawings represent every period of the artist’s career and provide an insight into his magnificent art.
Calvin’ legacy – The cultural heritage of Calvinism along the Danube - 2009
Held in the Budapest History Museum and opening on 30 October, the exhibition of the Dunamelléki Diocese displays the Calvinist legacy of 500 years. The event, coordinated by Hungarofest Nonprofit Kft., addresses not only those interested in religious history, but those with interest in cultural history, sociology or the 19th century urban milieu as well. Visitors will be allowed to enjoy the painting made by Cranach that is considered one of the most beautiful creations of the German renaissance, and a proof of receipt signed by Johannes Calvin, which is one-of-a-kind both in Hungary and in Europe.
From Botticelli to Titian - Masterpieces of Two Centuries of Italian Art
We are opening… Posters in the socialist era - 2009
This time the MKVM (Hungarian Museum of Trade and Tourism) exhibits posters from the 1945-1989 period. The posters reflect the various trends that characterised the decades in the era, and also inform us on what products were advertised most, what kind of stores were typical, and what slogans were used in a given time. The posters, aptly stuck on advertising pillars, the enlarged pictures of stores and shop portals from the era, and displays with products from the period evoke the atmosphere of the streets decades ago. It is all about soc-deco design – and the finest of it!

A village in Hungary – Átány - People, objects, relationships
The two decades following the Second World War represent a crucial period in the history of the Hungarian peasantry. In these years, due to the intensive progress of industrialisation and - above all - to state interventions, basic fundamentals of the traditional peasant life that had been developed over centuries were rapidly disappearing.
