Heroes’ Square
The most renowned and perhaps most stunning square in Budapest. The gigantic square’s three main elements are the Kunsthalle, built in 1896, the Museum of Fine Arts built in eclectic style, and the Millenary Monument that connects and unites them. The square was built in 1986, for the millenary celebrations of the arrival of Hungarians to the Carpathian Basin, and the constructions were finished in 1929. This is when the monument of the unknown soldier—the monument of national heroes—was placed in its symbolic center, and this is when it received its name „Heroes’ Square.
Szépművészeti Múzeum (Museum of Fine Arts)
The collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, which offer insight into all periods of European Fine Arts, include artworks by world famous artists, the number of art objects is over one hundred thousand. The inventory of the museum is at the moment divided to six large collections: the Egyptian, Antique, Old Master Sculptures, the Old Master Paintings, the Modern Collection, and the Graphic Arts Collection. Its permanent and temporary exhibitions showcase the highest quality works from the collections.
Art Gallery
The building was erected in 1896 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the arrival of Hungarians to the Carpathian basin in 896.
