The Anonymous Mountaineer collection illustrates how a passion for the mountains and for climbing could become a passion for freedom. More precisely, the collection reflects a distinctive type of cultural opposition, practised by those with a passion for the mountains and for climbing. This sport permitted a temporary escape from the routine of life under communism into places where the communist regime effectively ceased to exist. At the same time, in the case of communist Romania there was also a second dimension of opposition, because climbing involved a connection with the parallel economy in order to procure the necessary technical equipment, which was not to be found in shops. The Anonymous Mountaineer collection preserves a great variety of climbing equipment that was either improvised by the owner of the collection or obtained on the black market, where such items were commercialised.

Artists' books, became worldwide starting the end of the 1960s a medium of communication between graphic artists, writers, photographers and artists working with new media. Soon this medium was discovered by a young generation of artists in the GDR, who distancing themselves from socialist realism, used it as a vehicle for sharing not only their artistic views as well as dissenting ideas, which eventually draw the attention of the Stasi. This collection of GDR artists’ books has its origin during the GDR times when artists approached the Saxon Library, then active in purchasing graphic art from throughout the GDR.

Fekete Lyuk means black hole in Hungarian. It reminds most Hungarians of a legendary club, which emerged quite suddenly in a traditional working-class district. It had a cult following among young intellectuals, punks, and skinheads, but it also quickly became a symbol of nonconformity and rebellion. However, hardly anybody remembers Gyula Nagy, the man who as an agitprop educator founded the Fekete Lyuk club.
