On March 18, 2016, during the morning and afternoon hours, there will be short closures on the route of Szent György Street and in the Lion Courtyard, due to an event held in the Budapest Historical Museum.

This unique exhibition presents the ties of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel (Eretz Ysrael), to the cradle of Hebrew language, script and Jewish literature.

An ever-changing digital environment asked for IT development, so on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, the website of 1956 Institute – Oral History Archive has been redesigned. We expect that the new design and new structure will make content services and information on the site more transparent, and also make our service safer and more stable.

The Exhibition of Young Writers was opened on March 8, 2016, at 4 p.m. in National Széchényi Library. At the exhibition, where talented young writers and poets are presented through their works, portraits, CVs, publication lists, visitors also have an opportunity to look at the original manuscripts of young authors. The exhibition will be open until April 12, 2016 when the exhibited lyric and prose works will be offered for sale at an on-the-spot auction.
