From 18 March to 18 June, 2006 Budapest's Szépművészeti Múzeum will be home to an exhibit unprecedented in scale, content and organisation within the distinguished tradition of art shows in Hungary. Organised jointly with Luxembourg's Musée national d'Histoire et d'Art, Sigismundus Rex et Imperator will also be on view in Luxembourg for three months following the Budapest venue.

The large collection of material on display focuses on the personality and activities of Sigismund of Luxembourg, king of Hungary and Holy Roman emperor.

Never before has such a complete display of the cultural and artistic achievements of this period been assembled in one venue. Nearly 400 artworks acquaint visitors with the finest paintings, sculptures, metalworks, codices, arms and other decorative objects that the period has to offer.
