Casements displays Hungarian art

In honor of Women’s History Month, The Casements, at 26 Riverside Drive, is showcasing a Hungarian women’s art exhibit on its third floor, throughout March.

The collection was provided by Margaret Horvath, an honorary Casements Guild member, who has maintained the pieces for about 30 years.

The exhibit was visited by a Hungarian museum curator from Canada last week, as well as Blaine Waide, a Florida folklorist from the state’s Division of Historical Resources.
