As the title suggests, now we recommend an exhibition, which links to the world famous Hungarians, namely it shows artworks made from everyday use objects of the most recognized Hungarians.
The exhibition entitled Hungarikons-Worldikons includes more than 120 artworks. The collection of Tamás Kárpáti currently can be seen in the Bodyguard Palace of the newly handed over Várkert Bazár, Budapest, which is part of the World Heritage. The collection - in whole or in part - has been presented in eight prestigious museums (National, Ethnography, Petofi, etc.) of Hungary since 2009 - the number of visitors has exceeded one million so far. An assortment featured in the London Olympics, it has been to Dunaszerdahely, visited Rome and Vienna, where the two Oscar winners: Jiri Menzel and István Szabó opened the exhibition. The Hungarikons has also been invited to the World's Fair in 2015 in Milan.

The essence of this collection is that the most outstanding contemporary artists made sculptures, paintings and installations of the most famous Hungarians’ (for example Petőfi, Széchenyi, Bartók, Kodály, Puskás, Faludy and Örkény) emblematic relics. And not only Hungarians are presented, as some objects of John Lennon, Niki Lauda, Tony Curtis or Fernando Botero can be also found in the collection. The genre is unique, without precedent in the history of art.
