Come with us for a walk in the unique beauty of the Danube bend village, let's explore together the winding streets and places of interest of Zebegény.
For István Szőnyi, Zebegény was the centre of the world, where he painted his most beautiful pictures. He was captivated by the view of the Danube bend and the beauty of the landscape of Zebegény. During our walk, we will visit the places where his famous paintings, also exhibited in the museum, were taken. On this exciting discovery tour, past and present become visible at the same time. We will visit the original locations and show you the artwork from the viewpoint of the original, while telling you the story of the painting and why Szőnyi stuck to a theme, a location, a motif, why he sometimes painted the same thing over and over again.
The walk route can be followed individually (without a guide) with the help of a thematic guide available for purchase at the museum. The guidebook, which also includes a map, highlights the places that inspired Szőny. Old and new pictures of the same spot help you find the places where Szőnyi's easel once stood.
The price of the guide, available for purchase at the museum, is HUF 500.
