Komárom, March Youths, Laborfalvi, The Man with the Golden Touch, Balatonfüred, Svábhegy – so many words calling to the writer-prince. On the occasion of Jókai's 200th birth anniversary, our library joined in the celebrations with an exhibition on 21 June 2025 as part of the Night of Museums event series, evoking Jókai's fictional world, the defining moments of his life and the spirit of his time.
Our virtual exhibition, based on the display, provides insight into Mór Jókai's work as a writer, his contacts, his travels, the world of illustrations and publications of the time, as well as exciting stories that still influence our culture today.
Join us as we step into a world built of words in the 19th century – when stories were written by candlelight, but still light up today.
