Buda “The Seat Ang Throne Of Royalty”

Following the devastation of World War II, archaeological excavations of previously unseen medieval palace parts began in the 1950s. The rooms (e.g. the Gothic Hall, the Chapel, the Treasurer’s House), the castle walls and the gardens that were discovered at that time are now, after restoration, a worthy place for an exhibition on the history of the former royal palace, its buildings and the objects found during the excavations. Closely linked to the history of the palace are the coats of arms representing the royal families, Renaissance stone carvings, reconstructions of tiled stoves, utensils and vessels from the time of King Matthias.

The Corvina Library exhibition gives an insight into the life of the royal court, and you can listen to the court’s entertaining music. In the Royal Cellar, you can learn about the hygiene habits of the time, while a stone-carving workshop and the guards’ rest room recall the everyday life of the court. The early 16th-century palace is brought to life by 3D animation, a fold-out replica of a corvina and touch-screen games that bring 21st-century visitors into the world of the Middle Ages.
