The theatrical world of Mór Jókai

“I too had a life on the boards”—an exhibition by the OSZMI (Hungarian Theatre Museum and Institute): the curators’ perspective

Abstract

Many people know Mór Jókai, the great storyteller of Hungarian literature, for his novels, but few know that his oeuvre was linked to the world of theatre in many ways. The Hungarian Theatre Museum and Institute (Országos Színháztörténeti Múzeum és Intézet, hereinafter referred to as OSZMI) presented this unique segment of his oeuvre in an exhibition prepared for the 200^th anniversary of the birth of the Prince of Writers.
