Time machine is a device that only exists in theory so far, with the help of which we can fly our physical body into the past or the future.

From Lumu Team: The new exhibition at the Ludwig Museum is not about the science-fiction possibility of time travel, but examines the relationship between time and art from different perspectives, and sees the works themselves as time machines that allow us to travel mentally.

The exhibition was created during the short break caused by the pandemic, under extraordinary circumstances, so the organizers could not ignore the lessons of the recent period. From the museum’s collection of about 800 pieces, we have selected works that reveal different aspects of personal, artistic and historical time from the curator’s personal point of view.

The exhibition is introduced by works related to time, the passage of time and notable dates, and then giving insight into individual destinies and family stories, the private history of Central and Eastern Europe, through family photos and diaries.

Place: Ludwig Museum

Address: 1095 Budapest, Komor Marcell utca 1.
