The world of the aristocracy

A selection of photographs of the life of the Hungarian aristocracy in the 19th century

The virtual exhibition presents a selection of material from the Historical Photographic Collection of the Hungarian National Museum. The short compilation highlights the places where the aristocracy lived, the interiors and exteriors of grand aristocratic homes, and some of the pictures show the everyday life and activities of the aristocratic residents. There are also portraits of many of the aristocracy of the second half of the 19th century, and some shots of the travelling or hunting lords. The exhibition is curated by Etelka Baji.
