At the inaugural Veteran Infantrymen Meeting in Tata, the Hungarian Defence Forces unveiled the Leopard 2 Leguan bridge-laying tank—a major step in battlefield mobility. This advanced system enhances the military’s ability to support heavy armour operations, marking a key milestone in Hungary’s defence modernization efforts.
‘Bound by shared sacrifice, common values, and the enduring love of homeland, generations of Hungarian infantrymen—past, present, and future—will continue to stand united. In a world of uncertainty, their example reminds us that honour, patriotism, and national sovereignty are not abstract ideals—they are living legacies that must be defended and cherished.’
‘Hollókő Castle is a key site within Hungary’s National Castle Programme, a state-led initiative to restore and honour the historic strongholds that once defended our homeland. The planned third phase of the programme will further elevate the castle’s stature as a beacon of national remembrance.’
‘“Perpill” is more than a collection of objects. It is an intellectual and visual experiment that connects the ideals of collective creation with a renewed interpretation of sculptural tradition. The BAGUDA group stands as an exemplary model of how individual artistic vision and communal discourse can strengthen, rather than undermine, one another.’
‘In short, “…and the livin’ is easy” offers a quiet but compelling meditation on the imperfect nature of modern life. Like the Gershwin song that inspired it, the exhibition wraps discomfort in beauty and irony in charm.’
‘ART CORNER is an ongoing project by Hotel Clark and Leo Bistro that brings art into everyday life, in a relaxed and welcoming setting. The Last Romantics is a perfect example of this mission: an exhibition that honours the past, embraces the present, and offers classical beauty to every visitor.’
The infantry company of the Hungarian Defence Forces’ György Klapka 1st Armoured Brigade has successfully executed a highly sophisticated offensive operation during an international military exercise, showcasing exceptional professionalism, operational proficiency, and steadfast commitment to defence readiness.
Hungarian artist Endre Kecső brings ancient myths to life at Nagyházi Contemporary with Aphrodisias, on view until 31 May. Inspired by the sacred city devoted to Aphrodite, the exhibition explores themes of love, fertility, and inner transformation through bold, symbolic paintings that bridge the gap between classical spirituality and contemporary art.
HDF György Klapka 1st Armoured Brigade held its annual open day on 11 April, an event that attracted several thousand visitors. This significant turnout reflected public confidence in the armed forces and underlined their close connection with society.
