A general view of a temporary exhibition entitled The Hungarian Bride on its opening day in the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest, Hungary on December 13, 2023. The wedding gowns and other precious garments, accessories, love letters and wedding certificates of hundreds of women, both known and unknown, tell the story of the social status and living conditions of females, with an emphasis on the changing role of women in society from the 16th century up to modern day's changing attitude towards wedlock. Spanning for half a millennium, these personal stories take visitors through the cultural journey of transformation women have undergone. (Photo by Zoltan Balogh/EPA/EFE)
