Visitor Center

The round-shaped, yurt-like, purpose-built panorama building was designed by architect István Novák, and erected between 1982-1992. By investing a total of 640 million HUF with the help of EU funding amounting to 463 million HUF, the Rotunda and its surroundings have undergone a major upgrade in 2010, including a new roof, two elevators, accessible restrooms, a new gift shop and snack bar, and a total of 880 m2 area of new and renewed exhibitions. Visitor Center levels are now fully accessible with elevators and ramps.
