The exhibition The Art of Life: Secessionist Poster Art and Object Culture in Hungary (1895–1914) brings the evolution of poster art to life, highlighting its Hungarian origins within an international context. You’ll find breathtaking works by legends like Alphonse Mucha, Gustav Klimt, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Koloman Moser, displayed alongside renowned Hungarian painters József Rippl-Rónai, János Vaszary, Károly Ferenczy, and poster specialists such as Géza Faragó, Mihály Biró, Ferenc Helbing, and Márton Tuszkay. These posters captivate with refined painterly touches or the elegance of decorative lines, proclaiming the beautiful ideals of Art Nouveau—or simply aiming to delight with humor.
