Pay a visit to Nagytétény Mansion and emerge in the timeless charm of rocking horses! Prepared since centuries from the most various materials and using the most diverse techniques, nothing else can attract children’s attention as much as this toy, on which generations of young riders gallop over mountains and rivers even nowadays …

Indulging in their unusual passion, Dr Mária Ladó and Dr Ferenc Imre Török have been collecting rocking horses for three decades. But it is not just rocking horses they collect: their interest embraces all fields of art dealing with our childhood favourites.

In this exhibition the most beautiful items of their collection are completed with artworks from the collection of the Museum of Applied Arts. If you are longing for playing or for a bit of nostalgic feeling you can visit the show, offering playful solutions, a series of programmes for all generations and museum education programmes as well, in Nagytétény Mansion from advent to the beginning of the year 2018.
