The National Museum pays tribute to André Kertész with three special exhibitions.

March, 23. and September, 22. 2024.


The Hungarian National Museum will be organizing a series of exhibitions on the occasion of the 130th anniversary of the birth of the world-famous photographer André Kertész. At the exhibitions a selection of Kertész pictures bought in New York in 2021. These present never-before-seen pictures at 3 locations: @ Esztergom’s – Balassa Museum, @ Hungarian National Museum – Budapest and @ Robert Capa Center – Budapest.

After his emigration to Paris in 1925, André Kertész returned home several times, opened several exhibitions. A memorial museum bearing his name was created in Szigetbecs from the photographs he gave in Hungary shortly before his death.

This time, the focus of the National Museum’s exhibition series is not the reminiscing artist, but a young man born in Budapest on July 2, 1894, who was still searching for his way for a long time. He spent his childhood in Teleki tér and then Népszínház utca (both streets located in district VIII. Budapest) and also spent a lot of time with his relatives in Szigetbec and Tiszaszalka. and as a soldier he could visit almost every corner of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Loves and passions, danger to life, and the boredom of being a clerk were all part of the class. He moved to Paris at the age of 31, but he did not come with an empty bag. Our series explores the background of this launch and presents it to visitors for the first time.
In 2021, the sales contract for “André Kertész’s photo collection” covered a total of 1,163 pictures, the majority of which were taken before 1925. These are: 943 contact copies, 59 larger vintages, 151 Polaroid photos, 9 personal photos and a collage. After the purchase, was carried out a condition assessment of the photographs at the National Museum. The museologist of the Historical Photo Gallery, historian Éva Fisli, dealt with the registration of the photographs. In the last decade, she was able to research several times in the Kertész archive in France, and the documents she got to know there helped her clarify inaccuracies related to Kertész’s youth. She undertook latter as the curator of the exhibition series that will be shortly to start.

“Life is one chance, take it seriously,” – Thought of Mother Teresa of Calcutta in the hymn to life!

PAX Television – operating since December 2001, as the first and only television station in Hungary  in favor of the protection of all life.

Friday, February, 2. 2024. Live PAX-TV for LIFE! Conference.

On the occasion of the PAX-TV conference speakers were: Prof. Dr. Emőke Bagdy, clinical psychologist and Edwin Caruana, president of the Evangelical Alliance of Malta, pastor of the first Lutheran community in Malta, Lilla Gere, CEO of PAX TV. Zsuzsánna Albert Görgey, president of the Hungarians in Europe Association and founder of the Walk for Life movement, József Gere, one of the owners of PAX TV, Zsuzsanna Bergs, vice-president of the Cry for Life Association, Márta Popovicsné Palojtay – head of the Family and Life Association Transcarpathia, Zsuzsa Máthé, director of Szent István Institute, Ilona Keresztes, vice-president of the Together for Life Association, Ádám Balogh, pastor of Naphegy congregation.

Over the past thirty years, the number of abortions in Hungary has been gradually decreasing, as the number of 90000 registered in 1990 has decreased significantly. Still, even according to preliminary data for 2023, more than 19,000 fetuses have not received, was not given the opportunity of life.

Decisions in favour of abortion can also be influenced by the coercive force of the woman’s life situation and environment. However, experience shows that the vast majority of marriages break down after abortion, and suicides can increase sixfold among those who abort their fetuses. A male-female relationship has at least three elements: passion, intimacy and commitment, of which have to work for  the two of them.

The focus of the professional event was on the miracle of life from conception to death. In addition to abortion, speakers at the event also touched on taboo topics such as addiction, which affects almost 4% of the population. This includes active euthanasia, the support of which has increased significantly in Hungary over the past 10 years. Violence, wars and knowledge about climate change that affect our sense of personal security and belief in the future multiply the anti-life decisions.

The right to respect the life of another person has been the subject of heated debates in recent decades. Although euthanasia is increasingly supported by Hungarians in line with international trends, the decision about the end of life is not a simple matter to be decided. In addition to reasons of conscience and faith, allowing the right to active euthanasia can become an obligation and an expectation for doctors, it can weaken the cohesion of society, and it can also generate new problems, which was also a topic for the conference speakers.

Between 1956 and 2022, there were 6.49 million unborn births in Hungary. The events of ’56 also contributed greatly to this issue.

At the end of the press event, the symbolic signing of PAX TV’s mission statement also took place.

Celebrating 20th anniversary of Lead Zeppelin – A38 Ship – River Danube.

January 19, 2024, – 7 p.m.

Most probably ain’t necessary to introduce the work of either Led Zeppelin or their domestic successor, Lead Zeppelin, who has reigned for two decades to anyone who has a love for classic rock music. The latter band is also celebrating its anniversary on January 19. On this occasion on the River Danube flowting A38 ship will be surely filled with magical bluesy, folk, timeless music.

The group of friends, recruited for Jimmy Page’s 60th birthday, was brought together in 2003 by the love of Zeppelin’s music. That gathering hit the bell so they decided to continue interpreting the essence of Led Zeppelin to the domestic audience. After a few years, the final line-up was formed, which has remained unchanged since 2017, but in the recent years, many well-known performers, including Joe Rudán, Egon Póka, Zsolt Horváth, Hirleman Bertalan, Ádám Pettik, or even Mark Clarke, have been guests at their concerts with great success. Lead Zeppelin, as the best-known domestic tribute to the band, clearly strives to reproduce as authentically as possible the special atmosphere that Robert Plant conjured up on stage at the time. Fortunately, this concept also includes mixing some works together in creating something unknown and familiar in addition to the great classics. This kind of tingle definitely will not be only at this evening either, musical surprises and ferocious improve can be expected on the occasion of the celebration. The setlist will also feature rarely played compositions such as Achilles Last Stand, and of course the anniversary company will not be missed by the surprise guests.

In addition to the celebrated one, The Whu team will also take the stage, i.e. the only ‘The Who’ tribute band in the Eastern European area. The formation is made up of musicians active in other bands as well, who regard as a kind of love project the evergreen rock heritage of Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, which has also been used a lot as film scores.
