On 22 January 2026, the Hungarian National Museum has opened “Attila”, the most significant exhibition on the subject in Hungary in the past forty years, and a landmark international showcase in its own right. 400 masterpieces from 64 museums across 13 countries evoking Attila, king of the Huns, at the Hungarian National Museum.<\/p>\n

The exhibition explores the relationship between the myth and the historical reality surrounding Attila, drawing on perspectives from archaeology, historiography, the arts, anthropology, archaeogenetics, and contemporary cultural reflections. It also offers a unique bridge between the enduring memories of the legendary Hun leader in both Eastern and Western cultural traditions.<\/p>\n

Set within the museum\u2019s exhibition spaces, the temporary exhibition brings to life 1,600 years of images and myths of Attila through the presentation of some 400 artefacts from the Hun period to the present day. As they move through the thematic sections, visitors will gain insight into the world of the Hun period and the self-representation of the elite in the closest circles of Attila, while tracing the rich and varied reception history of the treasures and theories associated with his memory.<\/p>\n

The exhibited works originate from 64 major museums in 13 countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Romania, Slovakia, and Hungary. Among the highlights are exceptional pieces on loan from some of the world\u2019s leading institutions, including the British Museum, Louvre Abu Dhabi, and the National Museum in Baku.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is available until 12 July 2026.<\/p>\n
