New replica: REPLICA OF JÚLIA Szendrey’S DRESS, APRIL 2023

Júlia Szendrey was the wife of the famous poet, revolutionist, Sándor Petőfi, who was one of the favourite poets of Empress and Queen Elisabeth.

Sándor Petőfi was born 200 years ago. An exhibition was opened in Losonc, Hungary in the spring of 2023 to commemorate the women he loved and the town of Losonc. The exhibition includes the dress and hat of Júlia Szendrey, created by Mónika Czédly and the D’Elia Salon at the museum’s request. The dress was made in the spirit of the reform era, 1849, while the hat with its red and white rose and green leaves commemorates the revolution for independence.
