Xmas festive preparations @ the Ethnographic Museum Budapest.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , .

Xmas is inseparable from traditions. The Ethnographic Museum works all year round, and especially during the holiday season, to bring the present into contact with the past, science with teaching, and cultures and generations into dialogue with each other.

In connection with the festive preparations, the museum’s online platforms pay special attention to the traditional world of the winter holidays: customs, stories and inspirations help to see how they can be incorporated into today’s everyday life. It is also worth trying the museum’s Motif Creator application, with which you can create unique motifs – even as the basis for personal gifts. It is also a great way to spend time browsing through holiday-related objects and photos in the renewed collection database or visiting the Etnotube channel, where we can deepen our knowledge of Xmas traditions through archive films or recently recorded interviews.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , .

“Let there be a Holiday on Earth! “

Press and media individuals were invited this in the morning hours Friday, Nov.28 to the opening exhibition.

At the opening of the exhibition, said Zsolt Sándor – communication and marketing director of the Castle Governor’s Office: “It is a tradition during the Advent period to organize an outdoor exhibition that is somehow connected to the Christmas holidays and we try to present a slice of Hungarian culture that we think may be of interest to both domestic and foreign tourists visiting us.”

Róbert Török – Director General of the Hungarian Museum of Commerce and Hospitality, recalled that this is the second time the museum and the Castle Governorate are organizing a joint exhibition, as last year they presented a selection of colorful, illustrated postcards from almost a hundred years ago on the boards.The exhibition offers a real retro holiday experience, nostalgic and atmospheric remembrance in a real social and economic historical context.

In the sixteen illuminated installation elements that can be viewed for free, the curators of the exhibition, Kinga Veress and Gabriella Jenei, chief museologists, recall the wait for Santa Claus, the preparation for the Christmas tree festival, the atmosphere of New Year’s Eve house parties and the carnival costume parades that defined the rhythm of winter. The advertisements and shop windows promised abundance, while most people stood in line for even the smallest gift. Yet a special, profane cult of the winter holidays developed, which for those who grew up in Hungary in the seventies and eighties still fills with nostalgia now brought a smile on some faces, that once meant miracles that were desired.

Selected period posters, postcards, product labels and photos of iconic objects from the collection of the MNMKK Hungarian Museum of Commerce and Hospitality can be viewed until March 1.

The exhibition can be viewed free of charge from November 29, 2025 to March 1, 2026 on the path ramp leading up to the Gloriette at the Várkert Bazaar Budapest.

The city of Pécs awaits all visitors with a cozy, festive atmosphere at the 14th Advent Crafts and Fairy Tale Fair, which awaits visitors between November 28 and December 24 at Széchenyi Square. The series of events lasting several weeks turns the Advent period into a holiday with a crafts fair, gastronomic specialties, festive lights, theater and music experiences, and programs for children.

Getting together programs:

On the opening day of the fair, November 28th, from 5 p.m., the atmosphere will be set by the concert titled Swing Christmas by Emerton Award-winning singer Gabi Szűcs, and from then on, the festive programs will follow one after another. Advent melodies will be heard daily on Széchenyi Square: the festive concerts of Cimbaliband, Tamás Kéméndi and Anna Györfi, the Belvárosi Betyárok, Boggie, the FiveLive Acappella, the Szélkiáltó, or the Latte Maffiato Orchestra all contribute to the musical diversity of the holiday season.

The weekends are rounded off with special experiences: performances by the Fairy Tale Maker, craft workshops, festive concerts by the Pécs National Theatre, guided Advent walks and nativity programmes await families. On Saturdays, in the spirit of ecumenism, representatives of various denominations light the candles on the city’s Advent wreath. The festive atmosphere is further enriched by thematic events: the traditional programme The Holy Family is Looking for Accommodation, the Santa Claus Day events (when children can of course meet Santa Claus himself), and on St. Luke’s Day, a “witch” performance entitled Salem can be seen at the House of Arts and Literature.
