Congratulations received from abroad for the 220-year-old national library
On the occasion of the 220th anniversary of the founding of the National Széchényi Library, it received congratulations and commemorations from many of its European partners.
The heads of 17 national libraries and the President of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) expressed their congratulations in the form of a video, underlining the important role of libraries in preserving, researching and making accessible our written cultural heritage.
To celebrate the 220th anniversary of the founding of our library, the first comprehensive permanent exhibition, entitled Essence, was opened
The first major permanent exhibition, Essence, was dedicated to celebrate the 220th anniversary of the founding of our library in 2022. Paying tribute to the founder, Count Ferenc Széchényi, and recalling the Corvina Library as a historical predecessor, the permanent exhibition is recommended for all ages in Hungarian and English, presenting the complexity and multi-layered nature of the more than ten million documents in the library, and representing the full range of the written Hungarian cultural heritage.
