The Museum of the Hungarian Language - Sátoraljaújhely - Széphalom
The Museum of the Hungarian Language
Address: 3988, Sátoraljaújhely - Széphalom Kazinczy u. 275.
Phone number: (47) 521-236
Opening hours: Tue-Sun 9-17
The Museum of Hungarian Language opened on 23 April 2008 in Széphalom, on site where the orchard of Ferenc Kazinczy was once located. A modern building designed by the Ybl Prize awarded architect György Radványi perfectly suiting nature hosts the exhibition. The idea of the museum came from Dr. Emil Pásztor former linguist at the Training Collage in Eger, and member of the Kazinczy Society.

The exhibition rooms, a bookshop and an auditorium and a seminar room are open for visitors. Modern audio- and video equipment facilitate concerts, culture-related meetings, and literary evenings. The permanent exhibition presenting the past, present and hopefully successful future will be completed by 23 October 2009. The exhibition is to demonstrate the development of the Hungarian language and its present day variations.

Permanent exhibitions
Part of the permanent exhibition, its backbone indeed, called The World of the Hungarian Word, can be seen already as from October 18, 2008. Several angles of approach to the vo-cabulary are treated: characteristic features of Hungarian words; the origin and history of words; the most beautiful Hungarian words; the achievements of the linguistic renewal; the variety of synonyms; words used by writers and poets; divergences in linguistic usage beyond the borders of Hungary; exciting slang expressions; the language of students... Some items of the exhibition are placed in "treasuries" where the visitor feels tempted to dive into them. continue
