3 in 1 exhibition in Hungarian National Museum

‘Hungarian Press Photo Exhibition’ accompanied with the exhibition of ‘The World of Fashion in Pictures – Yesterday & Today’ and with a presentation about the history of photography
Hungarian Press Photo Exhibition, which is organized for the 28th time in Hungary, presents Hungarian press photos of 2009. The pictures represent various topics from several fields, such as arts, sports, or nature. Visitors can experience again the most exciting, dramatic, or joyful moments of the last year via the professional photos. Not only Hungarian internal affairs are displayed in the exhibition, such as locations of Roma-murders, verdict in the case of Olaszliszka, or inauguration of the new Prime Minister, but also the most significant international affairs are represented, for example Felipe Massa’s grave accident and everyday life in the war-stricken territories of Afghanistan. Some less serious topics include, for example, the most significant contemporary literary figures of Hungary, the 125-years-old Opera House, and the 120-years-old Hungarian National Circus.

Maybe we are not all familiar with the fact, that Hungary has provided the world with not only famous photographers but with genius and talented fashion photographers as well, whose works are displayed along with the aforementioned exhibition. The second photo-exhibition in the museum, which is entitled ‘The World of Fashion in Pictures – Yesterday & Today’ shows gorgeous fashion photos of the past century and nowadays as well. Visitors can have an insight both into the world of fashion and into the history of photography via the exhibition.

Finally, the exhibitions are completed with a thorough exposure on the history and the development of the different technologies in photography.


The exhibition is open till April 25th.
