The Hungarian National Museum was founded 200 years ago. It exhibits famous items, a number of which can be seen in the permanent historical exhibition opened on the millennial anniversary in 1996. The exhibition represent the history of Hungary from the conquest to the change of regime in our days. The coronation mantle is also kept here.

The exhibition of three main units (Hungary's history in three sections) is the classicist palace designed by Mihály Pollack.

The exhibited items tell us about the royal living, the king's courtyard, the formation of the church in our homeland, the first monasteries and the daily life of the citizens. We can get a thorough picture about the 1000 years of Hungarian history.

Visitors are helped by a good number of multimedia installations, slides of the contemporary film news and musical recordings to better understand the customs and atmosphere of the ages in question.
