Stunning Hungarian myth and innovation murals unveiled in Türkiye for cultural season
Murals depicting the origin myth of the Hungarian people and Hungarian inventions have been painted onto a firewall and a pillar of a bridge in Türkiye as part of the Hungarian-Turkish cultural season, the culture and innovation ministry said on Tuesday.
In Istanbul, a mural featuring acclaimed animation director Marcell Jankovics’s rendering of the Miracle Stag, which according to legend, led Hungarians to the Carpathian Basin, was painted onto the firewall of a cultural centre, the ministry said in a statement.
Designed by Gábor Egyed, the mural symbolises the link between Asia and Europe, the statement said, noting that it can best be seen from the bridge connecting the two continents. The mural took two weeks to paint, the ministry added.
In Izmit, a mural designed by Enikő Váczy featuring Hungarian inventions has been painted onto a pillar of a bridge. The mural includes inventions like the light bulb, the ballpoint pen, the match, Vitamin C and the Ford Model T.

The ministry said the topic of the mural had been a conscious choice, as it points to the Hungarian-Turkish year of innovation beginning next January.
