About the Exhibition: The exhibition series focuses on the concept of “citizen”. Citizen, citizenship - these terms have been heard and used especially a lot since the 1989 regime change. But do we know what it is, what they mean? How has the important role of citizenship in industry, commerce, science, culture and public life developed? The exhibition presents this process through six dynastic stories.
*Highlands is a field of mixed population of Hungarians and Slovaks. For 1,000 years it was the northern border region of historic Hungary, which was separated from Hungary after World War I as a punishment. It is now called Slovakia and it is a separate country.
