The Dead Library exhibition is an experiment in modelling holdings of Hungarian libraries that have not been read since 1989. For the purposes of the exhibition we have selected five thousand books that were published between 1945 and 1989, in Hungary, in Hungarian, on topics of general interest, which have not been checked out since 1989. Visitors can browse and read these books in Galeria Centralis until April 22, 2012, from 10 am to 6 pm every day, except for Monday.
