The nativity and other winter plays and pageants
A selection from the photography collection of the Hungarian Museum of Ethnography
1 January 2025, Wednesday
6 January 2025, Monday
Atrium,
Produced by Müpa Budapest

This selection presents customs and traditions linked to Christmas and the winter festive season. The photos and accompanying explanations provide visitors with an insight into an extensive range of folk traditions, detailing when, for what purpose and what kind of people used to dress up, sing songs and chant in the days leading up to and following Christmas. What tools did the people who lived at the beginning of the 20th century employ to enjoy the pleasures of winter while also carrying out their daily tasks in the freezing conditions? A photo album that leads you to the past and where you walk rather than leaf through its pages.
