For book lovers a tour of the National Széchenyi Library (OSZK) will be a perfect choice.

The National Archives of Hungary will also organize several programmes for the day, such as the introduction of a new publication about Miksa Róth’s glass windows, and lectures about the newest results of the archive’s digitalization process. Check out the Archives in advance here.
If you understand Hungarian sufficiently you can attend Ferenc Kulin literary historian’s free lecture at the House of Hungarians, and their interactive exhibition, “We, the Hungarians,” is also free for all on 22 January. More about the House here.
