The latest mural in Debrecen is almost finished

Municipal representative Edina Szilágyi shared a video about Debrecen’s new firewall painting, which will soon be completed and will be the fifth one in the city. In the passageway connecting Batthyány Street and Jászai Square, a reproduction of one of János Józsa’s works, which was made of Batthyány Street in 1968, will be painted on the scaffolded surface.

The first mural in Debrecen was put up on the firewall of the Bethlen Gábor Technical School of Economics in 2021. The spectacular work was commissioned by the Debrecen Vocational Training Centre and the Alföldi Printing House for the 460th anniversary of the establishment of the local printing industry.

The second evokes Ákos László, the city’s iconic painter, and his work on the firewall separating Gambrinusz Street, and the third, by Magda Szabó, gives a glimpse into Debrecen at the site of the former Rickl house and shop, on the wall at Piac Street 39. The series continued with the fourth mural, which can be viewed in the passage between Bajcsy-Zsilinszky and Hal Streets, in the Sesztina Courtyard.
