On Children's Day, 25 May, the new exhibition of the Millennium Underground Museum, which is 50 years old this year, was opened. The exposition titled "How we travel(led) - Public transport in the capital city through the eyes of children" presents in a unique way how the youngest generation has experienced and used public transport in Budapest over the past 75 years.

Photos, posters, tickets and passes, vehicle signs, passenger information materials, children's books and games enrich the new display of the BKV Museum at Deák tér, encompassing the cultural history of public transport in the capital city from the birth of Greater Budapest, from a special perspective. The temporary exhibition with the title "How we travel(led) - Public transport in the capital city through the eyes of children" presents how children have experienced and used public transportation in Budapest across the period of the past 75 years.

As children, our main focus is not to get from A to B; the experience of the journey is more important. In the eyes of the youngest, the blue, yellow and red vehicles that criss-cross the city seem more interesting than anything else. Countless questions demand answers relating to them. Many children are curious about what the pantograph is for, why we hear a clicking sound on some trams, how articulated buses turn, or how the metro can run without a driver. There is constant competition to validate family members' tickets and to press the stop request button. Riding the escalator is an endlessly exciting programme, and it is a good game to repeat the station names heard on the loudspeaker. The exhibition evokes these memories, while also presenting the development of public transport in the capital city.

In addition to fulfilling its fundamental duties, BKV undertakes, as a social cultural mission, to preserve the past and values of Budapest's public transport for future generations. The company is constantly expanding its heritage fleet and also operates two museums. One is the Millennium Underground Museum at Deák tér, established in an original tunnel section exactly fifty years ago. Beyond the permanent exhibition, the institution also features temporary exhibitions every year. The current one, which, in a stylish way, was opened on Children's Day, fits into this series.
