The Hopp Museum of Eastern Asiatic Arts in 1974

THE FERENC HOPP MUSEUM OF EASTERN ASIATIC ARTS IN 1974 In 1974 our collections were enriched by 39 pieces. These new acquisitons completed favourably the Indian, Japanese and Chinese collections. The complete Japanese bridal costume sent by the Södo Kimono Academy of Tokyo must be mentioned as an outstanding new acquisition. In exchange the Hopp Museum sent typical Hungarian folk costumes. In the Library the last year's total increase of the material amounted to 400 volumes, including books and periodicals. Exhibitions: „Indián miniatures" in the Castle Museum at Nagytétény arranged by Vera Horváth. „Chinese papercuts" in the China Museum by Géza Pajor.
