The exhibition features 31 works on loan from the painter and art collector Péter A Bak. Bak has collected renderings of forms of transportation in art for 35 years. His collection includes works by a number of Hungarian artists, many of them winners of the Kossuth and Munkácsy Prizes, Hungary's highest honours for artists. The entire collection is being put on public display for the first time.
Some of the works included in the exhibition are Tibor Pólya's Skaters on Zagyva, János P Bak's The Tabán of Szolnok and Adolf Weintrager's watercolour Winter Port. The various modes of transportation presented in the collection include a horse, carts, boats and cars.
