Theatre poster exhibition
The Soros Foundation has compiled an exhibition of posters of theatrical productions supported by Foundation grants. Assistance was given by the National Theater History Museum and Institute.

Paper and book restoration exhibition
The exhibition seeks to give an impression of the work supported by the Restoration Programme since 1995. The work procedure shown in the exhibited documents was carried out by the National Szechényi Library - Soros Book Restoration Workshop. Under the paper restoration grant scheme, museums, archives, libraries and other collections could apply to have priceless, irreplaceable documents restored in the Workshop. From 1998, the applicant collections themselves will decide who they would like the restoration work to be carried out by.

Book and journal exhibition
The several hundred books on display were all published with Soros Foundation support  directly up until 1995, by grants to authors and/or meeting printing costs  and from 1996 onwards via the pre-finance system of the "Reader-Friendly Book Subsidy" programme, based on the results of opinion research among librarians, by purchasing a determined number from the publisher and presenting them to the many thousand libraries throughout the country. The Foundation has supported the publication, over the last ten years, of the journals presented at the exhibition. They were chosen as being intellectual opinion-forming forums whose philosophies reflect the goals of the open society, are committed to open debate, freedom of speech, and liberality of opinion, and who present literature at the highest level or spread awareness of science.

Exhibition of artists with disabilities
Every person is equal in humanity and every person -  whether disabled or not - is called upon to bring out his or her own talent, personality and gifts.

The institutional life variable - photo-exhibition
