The 14th century was the brightest times in Hungary and Central Europe. It was mainly due to King Charles I of Hungary who made peace between monarchs in Eastern-Central Europe in Visegrád in 1335. With this, peace and safety ruled for the next half a century. Peace resulted in economic, cultural heyday in Hungary, Poland and Bohemia.

The aim of the exhibition is to recall the period and honour Charles I, the founder of Visegrád, and the constructors of the Royal Palace on the 700th anniversary of the coronation of the king. The exhibition presents restored Anjou letters that were found during the latest researches of the Visegrád Museum. With the letters, we wish to provide insight into what the town of Visegrád and the resident town of the Anjous were like in the 14th century. In addition, we want to show the most important constructions of the period of King Charles and his son, Luis I.

The first section presents the seat of the king and additional residences of the king: the castle of Visegrád, the palace, the Royal Palace in Buda, the Diósgyőr Castle and Óbuda that was owned by the king those days but was later on bestowed to the Queen. The presentation is through computer animation. We paid extra attention to ornaments in the royal palaces and castles that turned up during those days.

The second section introduces Anjou Visegrád with its churches, houses and workshops via finds from the latest excavations. The material among others consists of the tombstone of the carpenter of King Luis, casting forms for the 280 diameter bell once owned by the master Konrád, and a numismatics rarity: a test mint of King Charles' garas.
