For a Nationalmuseum very plain and boring. Many historic exhibits but without good context. Many parts in Hungarian and if it was Englisch, in a very little text.

Wow, ein super schönes und vor allem interessantes Museum. Es sucht seines gleichen.

Very well designed museum in chronological order, all bilingual except for the temporary science and innovation exhibition. A lot to see, including Beethovens piano in an impressive building.
