Veszprém rolls into spring with a rich program from the Archdiocese: exhibitions, music, family and kids’ events, guided tours, themed walks, lectures, feast-day celebrations, and church services. The lineup blends art and contemplation with community and tradition—plus a dash of medieval theater under the open sky.
Exhibition: On the Road to Ourselves, On the Road to God
Opening: Thursday, March 12, 2026, 1:00 PM. Venue: Aula of the Veszprém Archiepiscopal College. On view until April 30, 2026. Sister Tünde M. Erzsébet Takács (SAF) brings eighteen modern works that mark a quiet inner journey. For her, painting wasn’t primarily a fine art venture but a still space for moving through a difficult time—where colors, forms, and movements slowly turned into prayer. Each piece pairs with a brief psalm quote and questions to guide reflection, inviting visitors not just to look, but to pause and step toward themselves and God. City: Veszprém.
