Hungarian calligraphers reinterpret Hangeul in new Seoul Exhibition

A Hungarian calligraphy collective, Munbangsawu, has been invited to showcase their unique interpretations of Hangeul at the 2026 Asian Calligraphy Festival VI in Seoul. The exhibition, which runs through November 14 at the Seoul Calligraphy Museum inside the Seoul Arts Center, features 15 works by 12 Hungarian members. The group, formed by students of the Korean Cultural Center in Hungary in 2013, is the only foreign group from outside Asia invited to participate.

The members will attend the opening ceremony, explain their works, and introduce visitors to their experiences studying Hangeul calligraphy. The invitation came after visits to Hungary by Lee Sang-bae, vice chairman of the Korea Literary Painting Association, in 2025 and August 2026.
