Walking down Buda's Alkotás ('Creation') Street, one can savour the pleasant thought that after the Viennese world première of Joseph Haydn's oratorio The Creation, it was here in Pest-Buda where the work was played next - with the composer himself conducting.

One of the most beautiful chapters in the memory of Hungarian music history is the one about Haydn being considered, at least in part, one of our own.

Müpa Budapest's exhibition Haydn and Hungary, which will be on display in the Banner Square between 15 August and 15 September, presents the facts about the composer's relationship with this country while also shedding light, in a nutshell, on many important details of Haydn's life and career.

On display until 15 September.

Place: Palace of Arts Budapest

Address: 1095 Budapest, Komor Marcell utca 1.
