Hungarian National Museum



Then walking along Múzeum körút you may find the Greek-looking Hungarian National Museum, which was founded in 1802 thanks to the numismatic, book, and document collections of Count Ferenc Szénchényi. This enormous neoclassical structure was finished in 1846. It was here that the poet Sándor Petofi and others of like mind are said to have roused the emotions of the people of Pest to revolt against the Habsburgs on March 15, 1848. The permanent exhibit holds over one million pieces of Hungarian historical artifacts, including the main attraction, a replica of the so-called crown of King St. Stephen.
