ROCK/PAPER/FRESCOS
Preserved Art Treasures 2019
The main message of the exhibition featuring the graduation works of the students of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts is the same from year to year. However, due to the the nature of the training the conservators-restorers get, the exhibited items can be very different from each other. The title of this year's exhibition refers to this diversity of materials. And the list can be continued: glass, porcelain, silver, limestone, celluloid, paper pulp, steel, tempera, bone, acrylic paint, coral, silk velvet, wrought iron, fiberboard, walrus tusk and various gemstones… they all can be discovered in our exhibition.

The unsung hero: General Görgei
Artúr Görgei, born 200 years ago, is remembered above all for the surrender that closed the Revolution and War of Independence of 1848–1849. He was the military commander invested with dictatorial powers who, instead of entering into battle with the army of Tsar Nicholas I, ordered his army to lay down their arms.
