Summary/Abstract: An exhibition titled ANNA was presented in the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest from November 2017 through April 2018. The exhibition told the imaginary story of a woman in the mid-20th century Székelyföld, who had to decide whether or not to keep her unexpected baby. The exhibition guided the visitors through the two different directions her story could take based on her decision. At the end of the exhibition, the two routes met in the same spot. In his essay the author analyzes the exhibition, and raises questions about social rules and about the respect of human life.
