The museum of ethnography or the ‘Néprajzi Muzeum’ is among the largest of it’s kind in Europe. 139 00 Hungarian objects show you the traditional culture of the Hungarian people. The building is in front of the parliament and used to house the ‘royal high council’. Do I need to tell that it is a magnificient building. The amazing room shown in the picture made us quit for sure. The temporary exhibition we visited was of a very high qualty. Being western European we always seem to forget that other nations had bagpipe instruments in their history apart from the scottisch All sorts of decorative bagpipes. The nicest thing at the end of this temporary exhibit was the opportunity to play in a cabine the instrument yourself by a computer simulation. Wen enjoyed that a lot. The museum is internationally orientated. The texts are provided also in English and at the entrance a folder in different languages was available. Free with the Budapest card except the temporary exhibit.
