Her Little Promises

           The Night of Museums is the best cultural festival in my city and I try to take part in it every year. All the cities which are a bit culturally updated, such as my town, organize this all-night event, however I have never attended it at night time ( I know I don`t sound quite adventurous). I was lucky enough this year to explore afresh with my best ever friends by my side.What shall I say? It was an awesome day.I hope you too are reading this. :D We made at least one photo in front of every single mirror, but I would not like  to bore you with them. Anyway, we tried to boil down as many things as we could in half day time. On the top of that we dropped in the Festival of the Light which was organized in the bathing complex of my town. Throughout the whole town we tried to choose some of the programs: Art Gallery, Culture Palace, the tower of the Public Administration Palace, Etnographical Museum and an exhibiton in an old synagogue . As I underwent this day I felt like my town only showed her best side today and I was able to be proudly part of it. Maybe because the weather was beautiful and how you see the surroundings depends on the lights.
            A Múzeumok éjszakája a legjobb kultúrális esemény városkámban és minden évben megpróbálok részt venni. Minden város, ami kultúrális szempontból kissé korszerűsítettebb, mint az én városom, megrendezi ezt az egyéjszakás rendezvényt, habár én éjszaka még sohasem vettem részt (Tudom, ez nem hangzik valami kalandosan ). Annyira szerencsés voltam ebben az évben, hogy két szuper emberkével térképezhettem újra fel a várost. Mit is mondhatnék? Fantasztikus nap volt és remélem ti is olvassátok ezt. :D Minden útba akadt tükör előtt készítettünk egy képet, de gondoltam ezzekkel inkább nem fárasztalak le titeket. Akárhogyan is, megpróbáltunk mindent belesűríteni egy fél napba és a legvégén betoppantunk a Fény ünnepére, amely a fürdő komplexumban kapott helyet. A teljes programból a következő helyeket választottuk ki:a gallériát Kultúr Palotában, a Közigazgatási Palota tornyát, a Néprajzi Múzeumot és egy kiállítást a régi zsinagógában. Ahogyan alávetettem magam ennek a napnak úgy éreztem, hogy a város legjobb oldalát csillogtatta meg. Bár lehet amiatt, hogy az idő szép volt és remek fényviszonyokkal minden szebbnek tűnik.

              I especially like the first picture, because  I think Andi's dress produces harmony with the background. The second art exhibition took place in an old ortodox synagogue which latedly was converted into factory, but nowadays pangs of emptiness .It was interesting, because I remember visiting my dad  while he was working when I was little.The interior of exhitionhall was very "tumblr", the usual beautiful destructivism.  On the first floor we wiseckracked around (the artist glued her face on well known pictures like on the cover of a Beatles album), but on the next floor we had to become serious. The title was Without Mum and the artist showed with pictures how she managed to work through the loss of her mother.
              I have never engaged before in this festival, but it was an absorbing experience. When we arrived to the venue it had been already dark and we were exhausted. There were some hammocks set up and if you sat in one of them you looked pea-coated,hihi. The lampions were made of recycled paper, for example test papers ( I liked this idea).
              That would be everything about that day which could have had a so called REPEAT button. Regrettably it is easy to notice that I lost my patience of writing in the end and I have become tight-lipped... Sorry,but the pics are better storytellers than my words.
                Teljesen új volt számomra a fény ünnepe, de nagyon lekötő élmény volt. Mire megérkeztünk a helyszínre már sötétség volt és kimerültek is voltunk. Volt néhány függőágy felállítva, amibe ha belefeküdtél, úgy néztél ki, mint egy cukorborsó,hihi . A lampionok újrahasznosításra ítélt papírokból készültek, melyek között voltak tesztlapok is (ez az ötlet nagyon tetszett).
               Ennyi lenne erről a napomról, mely nem bántam volna, ha rendelkezett volna egy ismétlés gombbal. Sajnos látszik,hogy a bejegyzés végére elvesztettem a türelmem és szükszavúan ismertettem mindent... Sajnálom, de a képek jobb mesélők, mint a szavaim.

          I was poked by curiosity  to visit Csontváry`s Exhibition. By the way, he is a Hungarian (post)expressionist. Who would not distinguish from the tree an animal on this picture The Lonely Cedar? It was queer to see it live, I was used to seeing it in colorful picture books. But it happened!  Except for his graphics each artwork gave me huge visual experience, however it was all about contrasts and the overall impact of  colors on the canvas. I did not make a picture of my favorite art piece, but I tell you that it was full of butterflies which looked like the insect preparations in the natural history museum. This was also the first time when I have written in the guestbook, but I could not resist. :)) I remarked that I really liked the color-explosion seen on each picture, in each room and I envy the job of the room guards, because they spend so much time between these beauties. And this is true... I recommend everyone to visit a display of Csontváry`s art.
          I am extremely happy that I finally managed to write a post on the blog. I started to think about how I can take my time to write even in the schoolbench. Hopefully, holiday is upon us and pinky promise I will not neglect.
