As part of the Didaktika project, the Museum designs on site educational spaces, online contents, and special activities that complement the exhibitions, offering tools and resources to aid appreciation of the works on display.

The Didaktika devoted to the exhibition Masterpieces on Paper from Budapest focuses on different printmaking techniques —etching, engraving, woodcut, and lithography—through the work of some the most relevant artists in these mediums.

An autonomous, exciting medium, printmaking is a form of artistic self-expression with its own rules and character and, through different methods, it offers infinite possibilities for experimentation.

The audiovisuals in this space illustrate the processes involved in different printing techniques and explain the experimentation and innovations mastered by some of the artists in this exhibition, such as Albrecht Dürer (b. 1471; d. 1528), Edvard Munch (b. 1863; d. 1944), Käthe Kollwitz (b. 1867; d. 1945), or Franz Gertsch (b. 1930; d. 2022).

Amongst its extensive collections, the holdings of the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest treasure around 9,000 drawings and almost 100,000 prints, spanning 700 years of art history, reaching up to the 21st century.
