Vajdahunyad vára and Hősök tere

In 1896, the city of Budapest dressed itself up and put on a show to celebrate the 1000 years since the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin and the foundation of the Hungarian State. To commemorate this event, a large park was created, Hősök tere (Hero's Square), at the end of an upgraded Andrássy Avenue and this park contained a series of statues to celebrate the mighty Hungarians of old, kings and such as that. Next to this park is a city park to which the Vajdahunyad vára, the castle you see above was added.

These two areas form the largest park in the city. On this fine autumn day, we went for a stroll in the park to see the sights.

Museum of Fine Arts

In a place created for the 1896 celebration of 1000 years of Hungary called Hősök Tere (Heroes' Square), stand the Museum of Fine Arts. It is an imposing building filled with some nice antiquities and art from Hungary and around the world.

As you will see below, one of the most interesting things to see in the museum is the museum itself.
