“Eureka!" ("I have found it!") – this is the exclamation attributed to Archimedes when, according to legend, he discovered the principle of buoyancy while taking a bath. The elevation of the experimental method to a scientific discipline is linked to a Hungarian-born scientist, just as many scientific achievements, from the Rubik's Cube to the flow experience and from television to mRNA technology, are of Hungarian origin. This exhibition celebrates the achievements of modern Hungarian-born scientists, highlighting the groundbreaking discoveries that have stood the test of time and contributed to the development of our world today, particularly in the wake of the recent Nobel Prize successes of Katalin Karikó and Ferenc Krausz.
The exhibition is divided into four thematic sections, each showcasing a range of scientific inventions and discoveries – some now classics, others novel or currently in vogue. Visitors will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the creative possibilities of space, marvel at humanity's momentum in space exploration, venture into the energy research that laid the foundation for virtual reality, and explore discoveries that support both our physical and mental well-being.
The curator of the exhibition is historian and museologist Vilmos Gál.
The exhibition is open from 19 September until the end of November.
