Exhibition: The Folk Costume of Budapest’s Rákospalota district – a temporary exhibit at the 15th district Local History Museum and Cultural Heritage Center. The exhibition was open until June 30th, 2023. This district of Budapest makes a distiction between its ’old village’ and ’new village’ areas. Costume of the 20th century of the ’old village’ is presented in the exhibition. Residents of the area are described as being of a ’peasant-bourgeois’ layer of society. They were relatively well-off people which is apparant in richness of the traditional clothing. The area was known for its garden culture and tomato growers – the tomato and tomato flower themes are found in the decoration of the costume pieces.
