The temporary exhibition entitled Freddie pays tribute to one of the greatest rock stars of all time, Freddie Mercury. The artist, who would have turned 80 this year, gave a legendary stadium concert in Hungary with his band, Queen, forty years ago; it was the first massive rock event held behind the Iron Curtain by a major Western star band. This double anniversary lends special timeliness to the joint exhibition of World of Freddie, which preserves the memory of the world star, and the House of Music, which, through several hundred original personal objects and stories and with the help of experience‑based installations, reveals the lesser‑known, human side of Freddie Mercury. On the related guided tours, the curators of the exhibition and Freddie’s close collaborators – alternating on different occasions: Gábor Szilágyi, Endre Vazul Mándli, Márton Horn and Melinda Erdőháti – introduce visitors to the secrets of the exhibition. Behind‑the‑scenes stories about how certain spaces of the exhibition were created, exciting details about Freddie’s personal belongings, and insights into the professional work behind the scenes.
The language of the guided tour is Hungarian; the ticket price also includes admission to the exhibition.
