In addition, the Hungarian National Gallery will show Secession posters, MTI reports.
Director of the Museum and Fine Arts and its member institutions László Baán told the press on Tuesday that starting from this Friday and running through June 1, a collection of highlights from the Museum of Fine Arts’s graphics collection will go on display at the world-famous Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao.
Featured artists include such classics as Dürer, Leonardo, Raffaello, Rubens, Rembrandt, and Goya, as well as Hungarian masters Barabás, Aba-Novák and Vasarely, he added.
Baán said that thanks to successful exhibitions, record-breaking visitor numbers, and the strengthening of the institution’s prestige, the museum’s collection has grown considerably in recent years.
He said that nearly a thousand works of art had been acquired through purchases and donations, representing a total value of over HUF 5 billion (EUR 12.4 mln). Among the new acquisitions, he cited an El Greco painting, artworks representing a total value of one million euros received from Georg Baselitz, as well as pieces by Kandinsky and Girodet, an Egyptian mask, an antique vase, and Japanese woodcarvings.
Baán said the exhibition dubbed Guardians of Immortality – Terracotta Soldiers of China’s First Emperor will be one of the most interesting shows of 2025, scheduled to open on November 27.
He also highlighted an exhibition to open on March 21 showing works by William Blake and his contemporaries thanks to the Museum of Fine Art’s ongoing cooperation with London’s Tate Gallery.
