The Museum of Cambridge is very excited to be hosting the Cambridge Szeged Society with a new temporary exhibition, “Our Hungarian Twin City & Its Cultural Riches.” 

For anyone who did not know that Cambridge has a twin city in Hungary, this exhibit will be a chance to explore Szeged’s history and culture. In partnership with Anna Cowie and Erem Verde Mint, Szeged, visit the exhibit to see line drawings inspired by Szeged buildings as well as Hungarian coins and medals. 

Visit the Museum between 4th of September and 4th of November, to explore Cambridge’s twin city.
