Come and join our English-language guided tour by Edward Kovács at our exhibition titled Untold Stories on September 16 at 5:00 p.m.
About the exhibition:
The history of regional museums in Hungary after 1989, rich in challenges and twists and turns, is an accurate reflection of the period after the regime change, a period initially full of expectations and optimism, then gradually sobering up and stabilising, but now undergoing impulsive transformations once more. The Untold Stories exhibition at MODEM seeks to show the values that institutions outside Budapest acquired between 1989 and 2024 through the fine art collections of regional museums. This selection attempts to provide a picture for the general public as well as experts of how the collecting practices of individual regional museums have evolved in the decades since the fall of communism.
