A SZERVEZŐK AZ IDŐPONT ÉS A PROGRAMVÁLTOZTATÁS JOGÁT FENNTARTJÁK!

Részletes programok hamarosan!

Visitors can learn about the 150-year history of the Székesfehérvár Museum by browsing through 300 artifacts, several thematic units, animated short films, posters, archive photos, press releases and interactive guestbook entries. In its selection of archaeological, ethnographic, fine art and local historical objects, the exhibition focuses on the unusual, the exciting, the extraordinary and the rarely presented.

A sensational centaur bone find? An erotic ancient cookie mold? A dachshund hatpin?! Astonishing objects, stories, and curiosities await.

Ritta Hager's artistic world deals with spiritual and sacred themes. Light plays a central role in her works, which radiates peace and strength. She uses tapestry, old tapestry, weaving, and binding within a single work. Her creations transcend the two dimensions of the plane, composing plastic works that appear in the three dimensions of space. Her mini textile sculptures radiate serenity, humor, and irony. She is characterized by experimentation and respect for traditions, as well as emphasizing the properties of the material and displaying the world and values beyond the material. Her works suggest a positive message, the protective and helpful power of the ever-present Providence.

The exhibition, VIA LUCIS, is connected to the period following the Paschal Mystery until Pentecost, which follows the events after the Passion Story until the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The Way of Light and Joy commemorates the resurrection of Christ, the discipleship as it moves from the Paschal sacrament of Christianity from the darkness of sin to the light of grace. The retrospective exhibition evokes the INNER LIGHT that leads to God among the stones of the Coronation Basilica. The Way of Light leads from the reality of pain to the hope of achieving man's true purpose, to liberation, to joy, to inner peace, which is fulfilled in Pentecost through the Easter resurrection.
