Dear Visitors,

National Széchényi Library will be closed on Holy Saturday March 26, 2016. Wish you a Happy Easter and we are looking forward to seeing you again from 9 a.m. on Tuesday March 29.

The fourth volume of book series entitled Res Libraria, written by art historian Emese Révész under the title Image, press, history. Illustrated press in Hungary between 1850 and 1870, will be presented on April 6, 2016, at 4.30 p.m.

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 will affect pedestrian traffic too, so we recommend you to use the Express Elevator on Palota Street instead.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.

On Saturday March 12, we are waiting for our readers during the usual opening hours of NSZL. The next time our reading rooms and temporary exhibitions will be opened is Wednesday March 16, 9 a.m.

Between March 13 and 15, 2016 our temporary exhibitions will also be closed.

The Express Elevator on Palota Street will be open during the holidays as follows: between March 12 and 15, 2016, from 9 a.m. until half past 6 p.m.

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.

In the first quarter of 2016, National Széchényi Library organized a free series of screenings of films which were presented at the Hungarian Pavilion of Expo Milano 2015. Katalin Pethényi and Barna Kabay made a series of documentaries, consisting of ten episodes, in order to present some of the milestones of Italian-Hungarian cultural relations.
