Pest - VIII

In the 8th district we visisted the Kerepesi cemetary and the National Museum.
The cemetery is presented on a separate page.

This beautiful neo gothic building is situated on the busy Károly Körút.

We passed this modern glass building at Károly Körút many times.

Wonderful building as Károly Körút, part of the Grand Avenue of Budapest.

More buildings at Károly Körút.

Hungarian National Museum (Nemzeti Muzeum). Behind this impressive neo-classical facade from 1847 by Mihály Pollack, you can witness paintings by famous Hungarian artists as Károly Lotz (Hungary's most famous painter) and Ferenc Liszt. But the most interesting section was the exhibition about communism, that gave an idea of how it was to live under the Soviet regime.

Statues at the entrance to the museum. It is bordering the 5th district.

The grande interior of the National Museum.

A modern glass building at Kálvin tér, next to the museum.

Saint Elisabeth Church (Szt. Erzsébet templom), a tall Gothic Revival church at Rózsák Tere.
