MNIT is co-organizer of the temporary exhibition "Memory of Petőfi and the relics of the Hungarian revolution and liberation struggle of 1848-1849", opened on August 14, 2023, at the Reformed Museum of Transylvania, Cluj-Napoca. The exhibition was organized on the occasion of the 175th anniversary of the Hungarian revolution and struggle for independence of 1848-49 and the 200th anniversary of the birth of the poet Sándor Petőfi.
In this event, MNIT is present with approx. 50 museum pieces from the collections of the Museum of Relics of the 1848-49 Revolution in Cluj. This museum was a Hungarian cultural institution established in 1892 with the aim of collecting objects, documents and historical data related to the Hungarian revolution. A significant part of the heritage of the Museum of Relics of the Revolution from 1848-49 ended up in the administration of the National History Museum of Transylvania in 1976.
The exhibition showcases objects of daily use belonging to both great personalities - Lajos Kossuth, Iosif Bem, Sándor Teleki, Áron Gábor - and to lesser-known or even anonymous characters, whose destinies were closely linked to the events of 1848-49.
