The two courts of the palace
The palace has two inner courts, an open (mpeg!) and a closed one. In the open
court there is a fountain with a group of statues the most interesting of which
is that of King Matthias in the hunting gear of the age.
The entrances to two museums are in this court. One leads to the
Hungarian National Gallery
in the centre of the complex, whereas the Museum of the
Hungarian Working-Class Movement is housed in the wing to the north. The
southern wing contains the Palace Museum (the Budapest History Museum) which
displays the history of the Palace and the city, the Gothic halls and the
recently excavated Gothic sculptures.
