📣 THE EXHIBITION EVERYONE SHOULD SEE: ‘THE FIRST WORLD WAR – FROM BELOW’
➡️ An indoor exhibition of outstanding uniqueness and value at the national and even regional level can already be seen in the Park of a Thousand Years in Mórahalom. More than half a thousand relics and artefacts show the First World War in a richly detailed way that has not been seen before.
➡️ Some of the items in the collection are invaluable and provide a vivid, understated view of what the First World War was like from the perspective of the ordinary person. The artefacts show all the fronts and geographic locations where Hungarian soldiers either fought or were taken prisoner of war. Among these, the Italian front (Doberdo, Isonzo, Piave for example) is very rich in detail, with many artillery shells, close- and long-range weapons, medals and troop badges. But you can also see letters from officers from Siberian prisoners of war, Hungarian military memorabilia from the distant Samarkand, works of art created by war invalids, or a letter signed by Archduke Joseph, for example.
➡️ The relics show the daily life of the First World War with a stunning authenticity that everyone should see. All the information about the photo-video presentations of the exhibits and the fascinating guided tours by curator István Fodor will be available first on the Park of a Thousand Years Facebook page.
