Hungarian National Museum

The Hungarian National Museum has a vast collection of historic artifacts, documents, and works of art. It spans a wide range of time periods and showcases works from throughout the historical and geographical spectrum.

The Hungarian National Museum was founded in 1802 by Count Ferenc Széchényi, who also founded the National Széchényi Library. A year later, his wife donated a mineral collection, resulting in the establishment of the Hungarian National Museum as a general and natural history museum rather than a library.

The museum's collections are extremely broad, ranging from Palaeolithic bone tools to 45,000 twentieth-century posters commemorating key political, social, and cultural events. The archaeology department of the Hungarian National Museum, which is separated by chronological periods, is one of its primary parts.

This department oversees a plethora of displays that include the Paleolithic age, the migratory period of the early Middle Ages, the Middle Ages in general, and the Hungarian Conquest.
