This is the Zsolnay Museum, where you can see the world famous porcelain made by a special technology invented by a Hungarian family (Zsolnay family). Finally I was able to purchase a ceramics medal made by this family. It is absolutely gorgeous.
Agnus Dei. This is the title of the fantastic transcendental event that took place beneath the cathedral in the crypt. It was inspired to celebrate the Year of Religious Culture (2009) and the milenium of the foundation of the Pecs Bishopric. It was a multimedia ( laser, video ,music) show . The audience gets in the middle of a changing light environment and becomes part of it. The picture world of the show is based on the symbols of Christianity. The forms of ancient Christian frescos and icons show through the thin cotton material that is hung around the walls. The musical montage of Gregorian melodies, Hungarian folk songs, and pieces of Liszt and Bach add to the special space that provides an unforgettable and undescribable worship experience. Ross, you would have loved it. By the way, your aura came up here during my worship.
Midsummer night in Hungary turns into a night at the museums. Between 6pm and 2am you can visit all the museums in town for 4 dollars and see special events, concerts or just walk around the museums and museum gardens. These were some of the highlights of our midsummer night.
The laser show must've been so cool! What a great way to mix old and new ideas and ways of worshipping!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about you and miss you all the time. I think this kind of worshipping would have inspired you and maybe some poetry would have been written.
