Franz Liszt and "gypsy music" - official opening

The starting point of the exhibition is Franz Liszt’s book On Gypsies and Gypsy Music

published in Hungary in 1861, more precisely on the part of the book that deals directly with Gypsy music. (The book was originally published in Paris in 1859 under the title: Des Bohémiens et de leur musique en Hongrie). The compositions, works of art, literary texts and photographs covered by the exhibition are drawn from the period up to the appearance of the first edition of Liszt’s book in Hungary, and no later than the end of his life.
