"Charming Trifles", an exhibition presenting important works from the
collection of fans at the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest, opened in June
2002. Seventy fans and other accessories were displayed in the great hall
(the ballroom), evoking the atmosphere of the balls of old. A related event
was "The Language of the Fan" show, in which visitors, too, could take
part. This was staged in the ceremonial courtyard of the castle.
