After having been built for three years, the biggest steam ocean liner of its time hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage on the night of 14 April 1912. Titanic, nicknamed the "unsinkable", sank within two hours and forty minutes to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The biggest disaster in shipping to date claimed 1517 victims.

The causes of the tragedy remained hidden till 1 September 1985. It was then that Dr. Robert Ballard's expedition succeeded in discovering the exact location of the wreckage. After working hard for years, they brought the artifacts laying 4000 meter deep to the surface with the help of special robot technology developed for this purpose.

RMS Titanic, INC. has organized an exhibition of the artifacts it owns to make the surviving memories of the disaster accessible for larger audiences.

At the Titanic exhibition, a collection of several thousand artifacts retrieved from the bottom of the ocean can be seen. The exhibition is trying to make the event more hands-on for visitors through the reconstruction of some of the ship's rooms - first class and steerage cabins, corridors and the boiler room. The expert background noises, music, and the special lighting all help visitors of the exhibition experience the excitement of the Southampton launch, the luxury of the first class, the puritan style of the third class, the hard work of those working next to the boilers in the engine room, and the unbreakable strength the captain's bridge.

The incomparable atmosphere and uniqueness of the Titanic exhibition are solely down to the excellently preserved and almost hands-on artifacts. Among these, you can find china preserved in fantastic condition, highly decorated crystal bottles and personal belongings of the travelers, including glasses, wallets, and clothes.

The exhibition appeals to all senses of the visitors. They can touch a real iceberg so that they can sense how mercilessly cold the water was on the night of the disaster.

The Debrecen Jazz Days looks back on a history of 36 years.

WHERE JAZZ IS ALWAYS IN

Starting out from the south of the United States, jazz used to be the music of protest but by today it has become the international synthetic folk music of the 20th and the 21st centuries. The inclusion of the Debrecen Jazz Festival among the prestigious events of this genre can be attributed not only to the list of high-quality international celebrities that appear on the stage but also to the special atmosphere that has evolved at Lake Békás in the city's Nagyerdõ district. Jazz is said to be in fashion again, but it has constantly been in for 36 years now in Debrecen since the first festival was held. One of the largest jazz festivals in Central and Eastern Europe will feature concerts by international as well as internationally known Hungarian musicians and singers. The performers include Tomasz Stanko, a living legend of jazz, often called as the Polish Miles Davis, the Adam Pieronczyk Trio, which produces unmistakable music with tenor and soprano saxophones, the Colors, and Krzysztof ?ciera?ski and his band. The Hungarian "team" consists of Djabe, the country's best jazz-world band, the Debrecen Jazz Group, the local champion of the music, and the Zakar Trio, which plays mainstream jazz.

By now, the Jewish Summer Festival is one of Hungary’s most important, most visited and most interesting cultural art events. Even strata of the population usually less interested all year round in cultural events are drawn to this event held on the last week of summer. Visitors may gain a glimpse into a culture they’re not really familiar with and can become part of it. They can get to know the traditions and holidays of a several thousand-year-old culture, and in addition see artists and performers who will offer them a once in a lifetime experience.

The tenth jubilee festival represents Jewish culture with several branches of art (theatre, film, fine arts, photography, oratory, painting, jazz, operetta, klezmer, pop music, literature, chamber music), youth programs, bazaars, open musical programs and coffeehouse literature eves. Our program series follows traditions, grows from them while renewing and enriching itself every year. Due to the jubilee the festival has gone through a makeover, its ticketing system has also changed and entry tickets will be available in 138 offices of the TICKETPRO network.
