Part of the permanent exhibition, its backbone indeed, called The World of the Hungarian Word, can be seen already as from October 18, 2008. Several angles of approach to the vo-cabulary are treated: characteristic features of Hungarian words; the origin and history of words; the most beautiful Hungarian words; the achievements of the linguistic renewal; the variety of synonyms; words used by writers and poets; divergences in linguistic usage beyond the borders of Hungary; exciting slang expressions; the language of students... Some items of the exhibition are placed in "treasuries" where the visitor feels tempted to dive into them.

The language, our mother tongue, has a grammatical system and a vocabulary that can never be regarded as complete. Therefore those who wish to discover the secrets of the lan-guage, can choose their own path through the world of words; they can admire it, discuss it, complete what they just have seen, learn from each other. To quote a writer from Transylvania: "Only together can we speak our mother tongue well."

To learn more from the linguistic excursion there are playful questionnaires, tasks. The completed and given in questionnaires are evaluated by the staff of the museum and the best solutions each month are given an award prize.
