The audience of these legendary museums is welcome now to imposing exhibitions presenting two renaissance periods of Hungarian arts, evoking the culture and humanist spirit of King Matthias Corvinus and the revival of music and painting at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The top achievements of our culture illustrated here by works and documents of culture history will most probably be admired even by those more familiar with the topics concerned. However, this collection in Paris is yet another incomplete one: although presenting Gesamtkunstwerk, it fails to cover architecture.
