Round-table discussions related to the exhibition entitled The Corvina Library and the Buda Workshop, a conference focusing on Júlia Szendrey, and the exhibition of Hymn, the national anthem of Hungary and the related Erkel sheet music will mark the celebration of the Day of Hungarian Culture on January 22, 2019.
The exhibition opening on November 6, 2018 aims at exploring a so far hidden, less emphasized aspect of King Matthias Hunyadi’s library. In addition to the codices ordered from Italy, similarly precious and decorative manuscripts were made in the royal court as well. The aim of the exhibition is to explore and present the systematic and grandiose endeavor, serving the formation of the royal library in the court of Buda.
