Freddie – the Exhibition Curatorial Guided Tour

The temporary exhibition titled Freddie pays tribute to one of the greatest rock stars of all time, Freddie Mercury. The artist, who would have turned 80 this year, played a legendary stadium concert in Hungary with his band Queen forty years ago; it was the first massive rock event held by a Western star band behind the Iron Curtain. 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 reveals the lesser-known, human side of Freddie Mercury. During the related guided tours, the curators of the exhibition and his close collaborators – Szilágyi Gábor, Mándli Endre Vazul, Horn Márton, and Erdőháti Melinda, alternating on occasion – introduce visitors to the secrets of the exhibition. Behind-the-scenes stories about how the individual spaces of the exhibition were created, exciting details about Freddie’s personal belongings, and the professional work in the background. The language of the guided tour is Hungarian, and the ticket price also includes admission to the exhibition.
