The chamber exhibition was inspired by the one minute story Hungarian Pantheon by István Örkény who was born 100 years ago. The exhibition is located in Memento Park, Budapest. In addition to the boards with characteristic quotations by Örkény crated by the Petőfi Literary Museum, the visitors will find copies of contemporary bulletins and genre paintings that remind of the 60s and 70s the time when the one minute novels were written by Örkény.
The square at the main entrance of the Statue Park Museum is a symbolic location from many respects. Bronze boots from the demolished Stalin statue remind us of the anniversary of the Revolution of 1956, but are also reminders of every fallen dictatorship, facing the Statue Park that was initiated by democracy.
The square The Witness is surrounded by the Happiest Barracks. The witness is a little man, just like most Örkény characters, who never plays the lead role in history but is constantly under defeat by the strength of masses and fate, however, is a headstrong survival.
Nothing is more grotesque than reality - echoes the exhibition, in the spirit of Örkény. The exhibition is open every day 10-17.
