Traditionally, the new temporary exhibition presenting the most important acquisitions of the former year opens on 5 March at the Ethnography Museum Day. The Ethnographic Museum collection acquired over 2164 items and photos in 2013-2014-, the exhibition selects of these.

During this period, a deliberate selection for the collection characterised work at the collection. By the support of NKA, they managed to purchase the special patience bottle collection and the unique Australian collection that invites the visitors to have insight into the world of a closed community. The Folk Heritage Foundation came to the help the museum in purchasing an important heritage of the Ormánság and also the Bálint Sárosi collection of musical instruments. Also, the collection is enriched by the folk musical instruments and music related notes of István.

Mordvinian objects were acquired by the museum as a result of field work as well as special Vietnamese ceramics. The year 2013 resulted in the Malonyay heritage being moved from the Moholy Nagy University of Art. The Ethnological Archive acquired, among others, a First World War postcard collection, as well as a multi-thousand-piece slide collection. The new acquisitions reveal a very diverse picture, both time and geographically.

Visitors can learn about traditional and modern, domestic, European and non-European artefacts, many of them with adventurous journey behind them, sometimes from the perspective of the artefact now located at the museum.
