A harmadik terem gazdag tárgyi anyagával a kürt 20. századi kultuszát mutatja be a művészi és míves formáktól egészen a köznapi tárgyakig. (5-6. kép) A Jász Múzeum „Lehel kürt és kultusza" című időszaki kiállítása gazdag illusztrációs és tárgyi anyag felhasználásával kiválóan érzékelteti, mit jelentett a kürt évszázadokon át a magyar népnek, de különösképpen a jászoknak. A kiállítás szakmai rendezői: H. Bathó Edit és Kókai Magdolna. The Horn and Cult of Lehel a temporary exhibition in the Jász Museum Edit H. Bathó The public were given a treat on the occasion of the 130 tn anniversary of the establishment of the Jász Museum at Jászberény in the form of a special exhibition. The temporary exhibition The Horn and Cult of Lehel was a unique, pioneer enterprise, for the horn had never been subjected to such a wide and varied display. This famous 43 cm-long, richly-engraved ivory horn, probably dating from the 11 th or 12 th century and known since the 17 th century as Lehel 's Horn, is the most treasured possession of the Jász Museum. Opened on December 26 th 1874, the museum was entrusted by the town with the preservation of a number of valuable objects, among the horn of the Jász. Since that time the horn has been the prized centrepiece of the museum's permanent exhibitions as well as being the main symbol of solidarity among the Jász. The origin and ornamentation of the horn and the conditions under which it made its way to Jászberény has for centuries occupied both researchers (Mátyás Bél, Arnold Ipoly, Péter Horváth, Ferenc Pulszky, József Hampel, Gyula László, László Selmeczi, Kornél Bakay and Etele Kiss) and the public at large, yet despite much being written about the horn, to this day the entire truth has never been successfully uncovered. The exhibition The Horn and Cult of Lehel, opened in the Jász Museum on 15 th October 2004, places the main emphasis on the horn's role in tradition. The topic is unravelled over three large and several smaller areas in what is a truly spectacular exhibition. The first part is called Commander Lehel and his Horn, and through the Illustrated Chronicle (Képes Krónika), reconstructed drawings and old engravings depicts the activities of the roaming Magyars and the woeful outcome of the Battle of Augsburg in 955. The second part - The Horn of the Jász - is devoted to possible ways in which the horn arrived in Hungary, afterwards outlining the conditions under which the horn of the Jász people came to be identified with that of Lehel. Following this, the historical development of the formation of a horn cult - equally famed and respected whether as the horn of Lehel or that of the Jász - is presented (a badge of respect, a drinking horn, an instrument, a symbol).
