The Writers' Image

In the past decade the relationship between photography and literature can be seen as two processes parallel to and also reflecting on each other at the same time. We can witness the artistic emancipation of photography as described by the English expression of ‘Visual Turn’. The expression refers to the complex interplay between the image and the word drawing our attention to the inseparable study of the two traditions.  »

Stage Reading

In the course of the museology work we were struck by the thought that the correspondence, diaries and biographic documents of Hungarian writers considered classic or significant should be adapted and performed in a dramatic form.  »

Activities for Children

Our Rhyme Pairs series helps children explore the world of Hungarian poetry with the help of music. Our highly successful programmes include Let’s Make a Presentation, Tall Talk Competition, Musicat Club and the Red, White and Green activities, which introduce school children to literature with the help of associated arts (dance, craft and music).  »

In 1977, on the 100th anniversary of Endre Ady’s birth, at the initiative of art historian Agnes W. Somogyi, Petőfi Literary Museum asked sculptor Miklós Melocco to design a commemorative Ady statue.  »

''You must learn what the poet is...''

The Museum of Literature Petőfi was named after the poet Sándor Petőfi (1823–1849), whose name was synonymous with poet and is the most important representative of Hungarian literature in the classical world of literature headed by the name of Goethe.  »
