\nMore than 200 objects were displayed across over 6,000 square metres at the K\u0151b\u00e1nya site, tracing two centuries of transport safety. The exhibits included 46 vehicles and 36 models.<\/p>\n

D\u00e1vid Vit\u00e9zy wrote that no exhibition of this size had previously been staged in the K\u00f6zleked\u00e9si M\u00fazeum\u2019s history of more than 125 years. \u201c\u00d6veket becsatolni!\u201d was considerably larger than any exhibition once held in the museum\u2019s former V\u00e1rosliget building.<\/p>\n

The exhibition opened on 20 June during the annual M\u00fazeumok \u00c9jszak\u00e1ja, or Night of Museums. Vit\u00e9zy wrote that he opened it with Prime Minister P\u00e9ter Magyar before the two toured the displays in a live broadcast. He also argued at the time that K\u0151b\u00e1nya should become the museum\u2019s permanent home.<\/p>\n

Restored rarities and a hands-on inspection<\/h2>\n

Ten newly restored exhibits were among the vehicles on display. They included the only surviving Csonka passenger car, an Ikarus 256 bus and the Tur\u00e1n 9 saloon carriage.<\/p>\n

At one of ten interactive stations, visitors could try part of a railway carriage inspection by tapping the running gear with a hammer. This allowed the public to do more than view the large vehicles and objects: they could also experience one of the methods used to examine them.<\/p>\n

Visitors came from across Hungary during the four-and-a-half-month run. The museum organised more than 50 guided tours and seven large events. These included the Ikarus MiniFeszt, which Vit\u00e9zy described as the best-attended edition so far, and a festival of model railway layouts.<\/p>\n

A total of 1,600 children attended 81 museum education sessions. According to Vit\u00e9zy, this was a record among the exhibitions held at \u00c9szaki J\u00e1rm\u0171jav\u00edt\u00f3 to date.<\/p>\n

A decade without a permanent exhibition<\/h2>\n

The K\u00f6zleked\u00e9si M\u00fazeum has been without a permanent exhibition for a decade. A model of the proposed new museum has already been displayed in the site\u2019s former paint workshop, while a conditional public procurement procedure for its construction was launched in October.<\/p>\n

Vit\u00e9zy wrote that a decision on the project could be made once the final bids and available budget were known. He ended his post by saying work was under way to enable the historic halls of \u00c9szaki J\u00e1rm\u0171jav\u00edt\u00f3 to welcome visitors throughout the year.<\/p>\n
