Today was our final day in Budapest before heading on to Vienna Austria. We decided to take in a visit to the Hungarian National Museum. 

What a beautiful Museum and very detailed history of Hungary from its creation to its current time.

We walked through the museum learning all about the rich and troubled history.  The torments of the wars and their break from the soviet union.

It was very interesting how this country has evolved from behind the Iron curtain to become the modern country of today. 

It was very special to us to experience the National Hungarian Museum and learn in detail about the history of Hungary.

Here are some of the other neat and interesting things we experienced during our time in Budapest.

There is a detailed replica of the moon’s entire surface, including its far side located in the Piarista köz passageway. The moon floats in the air on very thin wires at a height of 3.5 meters. 

The moon is an accurate replica and you can see the details of the moon up close.  At night it is lit up and provides a spectacular view.

We came across a transparent statue which was very unique. The photos do not give it justice. As we walked around the statue it was semi-transparent and would come into and out of view.

There was a lot of unique or interesting buildings and monuments including signs and graffiti. 

We headed to the train station and took the two and a half hour train ride to Vienna. Saying good buy to Budapest and hello to Vienna Austria.
