OUR THEATICAL GUIDELINES
Body Stories from Rome
The human body is one of the most obvious things in the world - or so we think. Every body hides a story, and every age has written its history into bodies. What did they see as beautiful, or what did they want to hide? What was it like with the body stories of the ancient world?
Behind every successful woman...
What role did a woman play in the family? Could they marry for love? What does a black mourning dress, a photograph or a room interior tell us? Who were the most interesting female figures in Hungarian history? What do we know about their lives? We will explore these questions on our thematic guided tour. The guided tour can also be broken down, focusing on women from the Middle Ages to the early modern period, as well as from the 19th and 20th centuries.
