Every year National Széchényi Library greets the birthday of Hungary’s major national relic by prestigious events and also by an Open Day for its visitors. This year our programs will focus on three important events.

The Hymn in Lenti

Two-day international interdisciplinary conference related to NSZL’s exhibition entitled “Propaganda in World War I”

2016 marks the 90th anniversary of the birth of American illusionist and magician Harry Houdini (born Erik Weisz) who was of Hungarian origin. Houdini was the greatest escapologist of all times and also one of the greatest performers of the modern age.

Below you can read about books related to National Széchényi Library which were published at the end of 2015. Five of them can be purchased at NSZL’s bookstore, or they can be ordered directly from NSZL’s Office of New Publications at kiadvanytar@oszk.hu. The book by Beatrix Visy is in stock at Írók Boltja (Writers’ Shop), Budapest.

In the first quarter of 2016, National Széchényi Library will organize a free series of screenings of films which were presented at the Hungarian Pavilion of Expo Milano 2015. Katalin Pethényi and Barna Kabay made a series of documentaries, consisting of ten episodes, in order to present some of the milestones of Italian-Hungarian cultural relations. The 11^th episode, presenting the oeuvre of Mikós Ybl, was made by Bence Gyöngyössy.
