The Hungarian National Museum was established in 1802 when a public spirited Hungarian nobleman offered his collection of treasures to the nation. In the 1830s this elegant neo-Classical building was constructed especially to house the growing collection.
Above the columns of the portico on the right are figures representing the arts while those on left are characters from history. The woman in the centre holding the laurel wreaths in her outstretched arms is a personification of Pannonia, the name given by the Romans to this part of Central Europe when they conquered it.
