Kallós 100 Exhibition

This panel exhibition, titled Kallós 100, pays tribute to Zoltán Kallós, a two-time Kossuth Prize-winning ethnographer and Artist of the Nation, born 100 years prior to the exhibition's opening. Through fifteen large panels, it showcases his academic and community-building efforts, ethnographic collections from regions like Transylvania and Moldavia, and the ongoing heritage-preserving activities of the Zoltán Kallós Foundation.

Kallós significantly contributed to the preservation of Hungarian folk culture, following in the footsteps of Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály. He collected and preserved nearly 15,000 folk songs and melodies for future generations, with a particular focus on educating young people to appreciate and continue their homeland's traditions.

The exhibition's creation involved a collaboration between the MMA Debrecen Regional Workshop, the Zoltán Kallós Foundation, Partium House, and the Debrecen István Tisza Scientific Society. The opening event featured speeches from figures such as István Puskás, Deputy Mayor of Debrecen for culture, and Mihály Vetró, President of the MMA Debrecen Regional Workshop, highlighting Kallós's profound impact on Hungarian cultural heritage.
