The first exhibition of this kind in the Déri Museum commemorates in a special way the 100th anniversary of the signing of the peace treaty. The curiosity of the exhibition is that it only exists in the virtual space; the creation and furnishing of the exhibition space was done with a program by the staff of the museum: Balázs Korompai, Attila Ősz, and Katalin Váradi. Besides roaming freely, the program offers the possibility of guided tours as well. The focus is mainly on the Debrecen aspects of Trianon but, of course, with a national outlook. There are three distinct units in the exhibition, the first of which is about the economic and social cultural losses. The next part provides an insight into the fate of Debrecen between the two World Wars, while the last section presents the history of the Statue of Hungarian Grief from its erection up to the present day. Maps, archive photos, and detailed information help visitors to delve deeper into the topic. Moreover, the exhibition is further coloured with poems and interactive elements.

The priceless exhibition will be on display until January. The artworks on display come from the private collection of a doctor from Oradea and his son. “The art of Transylvania between the two world wars” – this is the title of a temporary exhibition that opened  at the Déri Museum. The exhibits come from the private collection of József Böhm, who also gave a subjective guided tour at the end of the opening. The selection on show at the Déri Museum is from his own collection and that of his father, also a doctor. The entire collection comprises around 250 works of art, of which a selection is now on display at the museum. The paintings include portraits, life portraits and landscapes. The deputy mayor István Puskás attended the opening and said that the works of Transylvanian artists also enrich Hungarian culture. Although Transylvania was separated from Hungary by the storms of history, achievements have been made there – not only in literature and theatre but also in the fine arts – which are an integral part of the culture of the Hungarian nation, the deputy mayor said.

Esterházy Marcell’s art practice focuses on the processing of the history of the Esterházy family, which connects to Hungarian and European history in many ways. In his works, he typically works with these family and found archival materials, appropriating and reinterpreting them, alternating great historical narratives and personal family stories in his poetic solutions. The special feature of TIMELINES is that it is an exhibition of his oeuvre, which is also a group exhibition. The multitude of timelines, i.e. the main background material of Marcell’s works, are collected in an unusual “control centre” in the space of the exhibition, where family relics and portraits and the related works of Marcell Esterházy’s co-creators and artist friends are placed next to each other chronologically, yet on a peculiarly emotional basis. The complex collection of objects reflects on the intersection of twentieth-century global and Hungarian history, as well as literary history and family histories, presenting the process of personal past processing, highlighting its compassionate attitude.
