The Geniuses come to Debrecen

A significant part of Hungary’s cultural heritage is preserved in rural museums. The significance of the Hungarian Genius travelling exhibition lies in the fact that it is intended to present the geniuses of the countryside in a representative way.

A significant part of Hungary’s cultural heritage is preserved in rural museums. However, the special pieces in these collections are often more accessible to the local public, as we don’t have to travel hundreds of kilometres to find a single piece of art. The significance of the Hungarian Genius travelling exhibition lies precisely in the fact that it is intended to present the geniuses of the countryside in a representative way. The exhibition embodies the Hungarian idea, the Hungarian feeling, national heroes, and local traditions. The selection includes the most characteristic and significant artifacts of a given village or museum, representing the institution, the village, its history, and culture.

The exhibition was launched in April 2022 in Kecskemét, and will open in Debrecen on 17th August at 3 pm at the Déri Museum, after Gyula.
