Football and Cultural History Exhibition
Under the title "Football Through the Ages”, a unique temporary exhibition awaits visitors and fans from June 15th during the 2024 European Football Championship. This family-friendly exhibition, partly outdoors and partly in the ceremonial hall of the National Széchényi Library, uses visual documents to illustrate the links between football, culture and history.
On the way to the fan terrace, one part of the exhibition will be accessible on the ramp leading to the Gloriette. This section will evoke the early days of Hungarian football alongside one of the golden ages of poster art. On the level of the Royal Palace of Buda, between the Royal Guardhouse and the Lion Court, the documents on display tell the story of the period when football exploded in popularity.
In the National Széchényi Library, posters, manuscripts and artefacts related to Géza Ottlik, Iván Mándy, Zoltán Jékely, Dezső Tandori or the Korda brothers, among others, evoke the stories that unfolded at the crossroads of football and film.
Football on the Big Screen
As a companion programme to the football and cultural history exhibition, the National Széchényi Library presents three football-themed masterpieces of Hungarian cinema for summer evening outdoor movie screenings:
