First Mesopotamian Exhibition in Hungary at the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest

Visit the Ionic Hall at Budapest’s Museum of Fine Arts to experience Hungary’s first-ever exhibition dedicated to the ancient world of Mesopotamia. Featuring over 150 exceptional artifacts on loan from prestigious European collections—including the Vorderasiatisches Museum in Berlin, Louvre in Paris, and Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna—this exhibition offers a rare glimpse into one of history’s earliest and most fascinating civilizations.

 

Treasures from the Ancient World

The exhibition showcases an array of artifacts: intricately carved amulets, powerful statues of Assyrian and Babylonian rulers, and rare examples of Akkadian cuneiform tablets, including a tablet from the Babylonian creation myth, Enuma Elish. Visitors can also delve into the legend of the Tower of Babel, explored through European paintings and works from Hungarian artists of the 20th century.

 

For All Ages and Interests

Designed to captivate art lovers, history enthusiasts, and curious minds alike, this exhibition promises to bring the wonders of ancient Mesopotamia closer to every visitor. Special programs and educational materials invite younger generations to engage with this influential ancient culture, and a comprehensive exhibition catalogue is available for those who wish to explore further.
