Night of the Artefacts 2021
"A gift for Mrs Blaha" - A fan's wanderings

The presentation is held by museologist Dr. Judit Anna Szatmári, Head of the Textile Collection of the Kiscell Museum.

Please note that the program is in Hungarian.

A fan from the estate of Lujza Blaha, the 'nation's nightingale', was donated to her beloved capital city. The bombing of the Kiscell Museum during World War II not only damaged the building, but also many objects. The fan was shattered: two smaller parts were left behind, while the larger part was lost. Decades later it turned up at the Jósa András Museum in Nyíregyháza. Thanks to the curiosity of the museologists, their inquiries and research have revealed the fan's origin. They contacted our museum and we thank them for returning the missing fragment. The pieces of the fan have now been reunited and, after restoration, are now on display again.

The maximum number of participants in the event is 12.
