Step into centuries of noble travel at the “Aristocratic Journeys and Travel Adventures” interactive exhibition in Keszthely (Keszthely), running from August 25–31, 2025, with plenty of extra dates in the fall. Cyclists, sailors, drivers, and pilots will all find something fascinating as you explore the world of vintage carriages, ships, cars, and planes.
Inside the Suitcase of History
Peek inside a travel trunk to see an authentic 1930s hairdryer, the unusual medicines packed for epic journeys, and even the rescue wagons of old—all waiting to tell their stories in stunning detail.
Golden Age of Railways
Railway buffs can journey back to the era of luxury train travel. Marvel at a fully renovated classic carriage, once the first-class ticket of its time. Learn how trains changed the rhythms of travel, sending more people off on getaways, especially to the once-iconic resorts in the Tatra Mountains (Tátra).
Discover the hiking equipment designed for explorers, including a walking stick cleverly built to hide a tiny flask of schnapps—practical and handy.
Comics, Ships, and Flying Dreams
Don’t miss the special comic strip set along Lake Balaton (Balaton), following a daring young lady as she vacations in the legendary towns of Füred (Balatonfüred) and Keszthely (Keszthely). Nautical fans can study ship models with intricate multi-mast designs, try their hand at the ship’s wheel, and check out vintage cruise advertisements that reveal what it took to win a round-the-world trip back in the day.
A huge draw: peer into the basket of a classic gas balloon, or admire the metal-framed airship model celebrating inventor David Schwartz (Dávid Schwartz) of Keszthely (Keszthely).
Car enthusiasts will love the lineup of original Benz and Lancia vehicles, and can check historic maps to discover the surprisingly low speed limits from the early days of cars in Europe.
All this, in the heart of Keszthely (Keszthely)—an adventure across the centuries, packed into one grand exhibition.
