“Our Hungarian culture, our shared history and culture are an umbilical cord connecting Transylvania to Hungary,” President Katalin Novák said at the opening ceremony of a complex of Transylvanian buildings at the open-air ethnography museum of Szentendre, north of Budapest, on Thursday.

Transylvania’s Hungarian culture is “not a thing of the past but a part of our present and key for our future”, the president said, adding that “Hungary would not be the same without Transylvania”.

Novák said she was about to leave for Romania and visit Transylvanian cities in the next few days. She said the government’s efforts “to develop the nation and strengthen the national identity” in the past 12 years made more and more people “set off and see for themselves that the nation reaches beyond the country’s borders”.

Novák called for efforts in the next decades to

“preserve our shared heritage, culture, our Hungarian language, because all that makes up the ties to our homeland”.

The new complex presents six buildings from a small town in Transylvania, five peasant houses from a village, a church, a school and a community building.

    It just shows how out of touch Novák is with the Western world. Ever since the mid 1970’s and the Rocky Horror Show (a stage show that has been shown all over the world and also made into a very successful film), Transylvania has been irrevocably linked linked to a song from the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc80tFJpTuo

    Fortunately for Hungarians, Transylvania (Erdély) is more than just an idiotic Hollywood clichè. It is an integral part of their 1100 year old history as a nation.
