The Hungarian Academy of Sciences (in short: HAS, in Hungarian: Magyar Tudományos Akadémia) was founded in 1825, when Count István Széchenyi offered one year’s income of his estate for the purposes of a Learned Society at a district session of the Diet in Pressburg (Pozsony, present Bratislava, seat of the Hungarian Parliament at the time), and his example was followed by other delegates. Its task was specified as the development of the Hungarian language and the study and propagation of the sciences and the arts in Hungarian. It received its current name in 1845. Its central building was inaugurated in 1865, in neo-Renaissance style.

Oh my, but I love the way you captured the repeated patterns of the facade. Nice!
I am in awe of European architecture. This is a beautiful building and a wonderful shot.
i like the way you frame the photo. it makes the facade of the building looks great.
(my anti spam word is ‘great’) :)
Wonderful building, great picture!
Haven’t seen you much around; too busy?
Have a great weekend!
Trotter…I am in Croatia these days..the posts you have seen in the last two weeks were set up before my trip. I will be back soon and I will be more active:)
Hi Zsolt! I love the facade with the shading giving it a nice 3D effect – beautiful composition, too.
Thanks for the visit!
A beautiful photograph of a magnificent building!
The facade of this building is so beautiful and ornate. You captured it well with the afternoon sun and shadows.
