Galleria Nazionale Ungherese

The Hungarian National Gallery was founded in 1957. The gallery, arranged on four floors, occupies the three main sectors of the Royal Palace of Buda. It has been here since 1975, when it was moved from the former Palace of Justice.

The collection in buildings B, C and D of the Buda Castle Palace contains approximately one hundred thousand objects, among the most important works of Hungarian art, from the Middle Ages to today.

On the ground floor is the "Lapidarium", the collection of stone artefacts (sculptures and architectural fragments) discovered during the reconstruction of the Royal Palace. The most valuable work is a head carved in red marble depicting King Béla III, dating from the 13th century. In this first section there are also two bas-reliefs representing King Mattia Corvino with his wife Beatrice d'Aragona, works by an unknown Lombard Renaissance master.
