Engage museum visitors

Guided Tours
Guided tours for groups are available in several languages can be booked by appointment. Individual visitors can join the daily Highlight tours (available only in Hungarian).

Touch-it Exhibitions and Workshops
From time to time we organize touch-it exhibitions linked to the actual temporary exhibition. The primary target audience is the blind and partially sighted community. They are not the only ones, however, interested in touching replicas of artworks, students and families also love the tactile experiences.
The Hands On! program invites visitors to the Egyptian collection on a weekly basis for short explanations and a chance to touch and feel some Ancient Egyptian artefacts and copies.

Exhibition Guide Brochures
The artists’ vision and the curators’ ideas, as integral parts of the art displayed, often need some explanations. Our fold-out leaflets contain a lot of important information, short summaries, useful simplifications. They make it easier for the visitors to understand the context.

Take a Look!
Today most people use online resources, while many fondly reminisce about the analogue world. The info sheets Take a Look! are placed at the entrance of the exhibitions and visitors are free to use them during their scroll. In each leaflet there is a map with the location of the selected artwork, a summary about the artifact and the artist, and many interesting facts.

Museum Bathing
The term is coined by analogy with the term forest bathing. It is part of the slow art movement. The idea is to connect with a painting more deeply by looking at its details longer. The focus is on the enjoyment as opposed to fact collection. Museum Bathing includes audio contents (accessed by QR code) that inspire slow looking and thus a more personal connection.

Interactive Digital Installations
Throughout the museum you can find interactive digital installations both in the permanent and temporary exhibitions. To mention a few, the 15.5 meter wide Magic Wall, in the reception hall for visitors, operates as a grand digital space of the museum collection. It is a fully interactive search system, with maps and short art descriptions, which can help orient visitors to the location of a particular artefact.  In the Ancient Egypt exhibition, various touchscreen panels are installed to engage and educate pupils and adults alike. The visitor-friendly hypeboxes provide plenty of interactive learning opportunities.

Gamified Tablet-based Quizzes
In the Prints and Drawings Collection, a novel gamified tablet-based quiz spreads basic knowledge about the history of drawings and prints, including various techniques and tools. The digital learning experience is complemented by creative activities.
