The Imre Ámos – Margit Anna Memorial Museum reopened its doors this weekend, coinciding with the launch of the temporary exhibition titled “An Angel Flew Over…” (“Angyal szállt el…”).
The exhibition was opened by Luca Nyáry, who highlighted the communal and human dimensions of loss and grief in her remarks. As she put it, loss is not merely a gaping void, but the wreckage of letting go—a ruin from which emotions and memories sprout. Grief is, in fact, love that survives; it is what remains even after a loss.
The works of the featured artists—Imre Bukta, Andrea Fajgerné Dudás, Zsuzsi Flohr, and Klára Petra Szabó—draw upon this very love. Through personal and shared experiences, their art reflects on loss, remembrance, and the possibilities of moving forward. According to Luca Nyáry, viewing the exhibition evokes both the most beautiful and the most painful memories—or, as she phrased it, the most human memories—from which no one can escape. Yet, as one immerses oneself in the artworks, it becomes clear that while we often feel loss isolates us from the outside world, we are never truly alone. The exhibition titled “An Angel Flew Over…” offers an opportunity to view our own losses from a new perspective and to transform something often experienced in solitude into a shared, communal experience.
The exhibition is open to visitors from Thursday to Sunday until January 3, 2027, at the Imre Ámos – Margit Anna Memorial Museum.
