Now On: Rippl-Rónai Exhibition, National Gallery Budapest
- 28 Aug 2012 9:00 AM
- community & culture
"The significance of the 80.000-piece graphic collection of the Hungarian National Gallery is a little-known fact, since the paper-based objects are very sensitive and cannot be part of the permanent exhibition. That is why the paintings and sculptures of the 20th century permanent exhibition are complemented with our graphic cabinets of a changing thematic concept twice a year.

„Neatness pleases” – ran Ovid’s advice to young men setting out on amorous conquests in his didactic poem Ars amatoria.

I managed to avoid commenting on the Olympics for two solid weeks, but perhaps I ought to say something about the games in general, the Hungarians’ performance in particular, and the political sparring between left and right over the Olympics and its significance. A couple of decades ago I was an avid follower of Olympic events but eventually I became disillusioned. I wasn’t sure any longer about ...
Guest Blog By British Chargé d’affaires Theresa Bubbear: Sziget – Day 3
- 10 Aug 2012 12:00 PM
- entertainment
Today I spent my third and final day at the Sziget Festival for this year. It was, unsurprisingly, a day of threes – third speech in Hungarian, policemen from three countries, three unexpected faces on Hungarian banknotes, and a meeting with three organisations. And Team GB remains third in the Olympic medals table. I am now passing the baton to three of the younger generation for the weekend.
