Petőfi 200 - Memorial Exhibition 

  • 1720 Arch Street Berkeley, CA 94709 United States (map)

  The Orly Museum of Hungarian Culture will commemorate Sándor Petőfi with a special museum-educational exhibition. The revolutionary poet was born 200 years ago on 1 January 1823. In the bicentenary year, the themes of love, the search for happiness, heroic death, nation, personal freedom, the desire for family idyll, folk-tale traditions, homeland and the problems of humanity - all of which were of great concern to the poet during his short but full life - are still valid and inevitable today. The exhibition will be accompanied by a cultural program, an educational lecture and a museum education session for kids. 

Refreshments and Hungarian home-made pastries are available at the Museum Café for a fee.

The event is free of charge, donations are welcome.
Free parking is available in front of the museum on Arch Street and nearby.
