Freddie – the Exhibition Curatorial Guided Tour

The temporary exhibition Freddie pays tribute to one of the greatest rock stars of all time, Freddie Mercury. The artist, who would have turned 80 this year, gave a legendary stadium concert in Hungary forty years ago with his band Queen; it was the first massive rock event held behind the Iron Curtain by a Western star band. This double anniversary gives special relevance to the joint exhibition of World of Freddie, which preserves the memory of the global star, and the House of Music. Through several hundred original personal objects and stories, and with the help of experience-based installations, it presents the lesser-known, human side of Freddie Mercury. At the related guided tours, the curators of the exhibition and his direct collaborators – alternating on occasion Gábor Szilágyi, Endre Vazul Mándli, Márton Horn, and Melinda Erdőháti – introduce visitors to the secrets of the exhibition. Behind-the-scenes stories about how certain areas of the exhibition were created, exciting details about Freddie’s personal belongings, and insights into the professional work behind it.

The guided tour is in Hungarian; the ticket price also includes admission to the exhibition.
