Review:
Locally known as Magyar Nemzeti Muzeum, the Hungarian National Museum is filled with art, history, and archaeology. It was founded in 1802 and is now housed in a neoclassical building designed by Hungarian-Austrian architect Mihaly Pollack. The building itself is a wonder and has stunning paintings on the ceiling and the staircase. The permanent exhibitions in the museum vary from the general history of Hungary leading back to the Avar period as well as the age of the Arpads. There is also an extensive collection of carvings, stone inscriptions, and relics. There are many temporary exhibitions that are housed in the museum throughout the year, dedicated to topics such as the Protestant way of life in the 20th century.
