MÚZÉJ | Hemző-kvíz Bánkuti András fotográfussal
The exhibition can be viewed on a first-come, first-served basis.
You don’t have to be a photo historian! Just take a guess, and you could win a memento of Károly Hemző. If you guess where a particular Hemző photo was taken, the gift is yours. And if you recognize who the photographer captured in the frame, you win again. If we ask which sports club he was the official photographer for, do you know the answer? We won’t even ask who he collaborated with on his beautiful cookbooks (you already know), but we will quiz the players on food photography.

Our New Encounters
1976–2026
Hemző and the Hemző Prize Winners
With this exhibition, we commemorate Károly Hemző’s legendary exhibition *My Encounters*, which opened exactly fifty years ago in 1976, featuring vintage photographs largely enlarged by the artist himself, and juxtapose them with the visual perspectives of young 21st-century artists—the winners and finalists of the award named after Károly Hemző.
Although Hemző never taught photography anywhere, he still had an impact on subsequent generations. The winners of the Károly Hemző Award, established in 2013—András Hajdú D., Simon Móricz-Sabján, Balázs Mohai, Zsófia Pályi, István Bielik, Sándor Csudai, László Végh, Márton Mónus, Judit Ruprech, Noémi Napsugár Melegh, Bálint Szajki, and András Zoltai—and the works of its finalists attest to the fact that they represent the defining generation of 21st-century Hungarian photography.
