The Museum of Ethnography will provide guided tours and night-time openings in a week-long series of events marking the Day of Hungarian Culture held on Jan 22.
According to the museum's website, visitors are offered guided tours of the temporary exhibition I find thee with God, my brother! – Gypsy stories, focusing on the work of linguist and ethnographer Kamill Erdős, on Jan 18. The same show will be the subject of a family afternoon and the starting point of a podium discussion on Gypsy music between renowned musicians Roby Lakatos, Jenő Lisztes and Zsolt Szomora on Jan 21. Families are invited to spend the night in the museum on Jan 26. January 22 was declared the Day of Hungarian Culture in 1989, marking the day when poet Ferenc Kölcsey finalised the text that later became Hungary’s national anthem in 1823.
