Donation from Denmark - Danish photographer Vagn Hansen's pictures of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution
Start: 2008.10.28.
- End: 2008.11.30.
The Western World turned with almost unanimous sympathy towards the Hungarian Revolution in October 1956, and this sentiment was very much supported by the dramatic pictures of illustrated magazines. About forty foreign press photographers visited Hungary during the few days of the revolution in late October - early November, but to date only a small number of photos are known of their material, and even fewer are housed in Hungarian public collections.
