Our guided tours focus on the history of the Eötvös Loránd University Library and Archives. The library palace was designed by Antal Szkalnitzky. Up-to-date technology of the time was used for ventilation, heating and illumination. The tour will take you through the entrance hall decorated with sgraffiti to the reading room with figures on its ceiling which symbolise sciences and arts. Besides the magnificent art and architecture of the library’s Reading Hall, you can also admire an oil-painting of the middle-aged Franz Joseph I. by Mór Than and the reconstruction of the Perczel Globe. Our librarians will tell you the secrets, and show you the hidden nooks and crannies of the library. More details about our programs are available here. Join our library tour!
