Hungary National Museum prehistoric settlements
This display on the prehistoric settlements in Hungary's national museum (Budapest) shows animations that illustrate how the communities may have looked back then. For players of Skyrim, there are several familiar faces in the crowd.
Holy Crown of Hungary
The Holy Crown of Hungary was the coronation crown used by the Kingdom of Hungary for most of its existence; kings have been crowned with it since the twelfth century. The Crown was bound to the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen,. No king of Hungary was regarded as having been truly legitimate without being crowned with it. In the history of Hungary, more than fifty kings were crowned with it, up to the last, Charles IV, in 1916.
The enamels on the crown are at least mainly Byzantine work, presumed to have been made in Constantinople in the 1070s, and presented by the Byzantine Emperor Michael VII Doukas to King Géza I of Hungary; both are depicted and named in Greek on enamel plaques in the lower crown. It is one of at most two Byzantine crowns to survive, the other being the slightly earlier Monomachus Crown, which is also in Budapest, in the Hungarian National Museum. However, the Monomachus Crown may have had another function, and the Holy Crown has probably been remodelled, and uses elements of different origins. The date assigned to the present configuration of the Holy Crown varies, but is most commonly put around the late 12th century. The Hungarian coronation insignia consists of the Holy Crown, the sceptre, the orb, and the mantle. The orb has the coat-of-arms of Charles I of Hungary. In popular tradition the Holy Crown was thought to be older, dating to the time of the first King Stephen I of Hungary, crowned in 1000/1001, which the mantle probably does.

Susan Gold: Decorating the End of the World
Curated by Catherine Elliot Shaw
May 16 to June 29, 2013
Opening reception: Thursday, May 16 at 7:00 P.M.
For the past two decades, Windsor artist Susan Gold has researched and photographed natural history collections to develop imagery for her paintings. Her current investigation explores animal specimens as objects of decoration in relation to architecture. Inspired by Norwegian natural history museum displays, she has layered images of the iconic Isbjørn (ice bear), old master paintings and William Morris wallpapers within architectural spaces to evoke the longstanding relationship of decoration to nature.
Gold has exhibited in Canada, the United States, England, Germany, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. She is a visual arts professor at University of Windsor and a frequent lecturer at international symposia. Her work is represented in public and private collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the King Stephen Museum in Szekesfehervar, Hungary. Susan Gold: Decorating the End of the World has been organized by McIntosh Gallery.

Annamaria Nagy | THE SOCIALIST MODEL TOWN OF HUNGARY: DUNAÚJVÁROS
The aim of the presentation is to introduce the brief history of Dunaújváros, the first Socialist model town in Hungary and represent the utopian architectural idea behind its construction with the highlights on the political effects. In her research Annamária Nagy investigated the socialist utopian idea of the Stalinist Russia, the Soviet Union and Hungary, then focused on what made Dunaújváros the model town of the Hungarian Socialism. The very first plans had some modern aspects, then these transformed into a cleaner socialist realist style under the political pressure. Nagy went through several documents from the 1950s to the 1970s: political statements about the expected architectural style, original plans of some buildings, memoires of architects and contemporary press. She compared the plans with the results and got some conclusions on what caused the differences, how the plans were changing continually as the political system softened in the course of time. Nagy chose one building to represent in detail those characteristics which had to be changed in order to be more socialist realists – the Dózsa Picture Theatre by György Szrogh.
Annamária NAGY (HU) is an art historian and curator of the Institute of Contemporary Art in Dunaújváros, Hungary. She graduated in 2014 at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University, Budapest with the thesis ‘Fine Arts and Politics during the Socialist Era in Dunaújváros’, and worked in 2014-2015 as a research fellow at the King Saint Stephen Museum, Székesfehérvár. In November 2015 she worked as a Curator-in-Residence at MQ21, Vienna, Austria.

In the summer of 2012, we started our research in Cserhátszentiván, a village in Hungary, based on the history of the open air bath which was destroyed in 1944. The one-time public bath has disappeared in the storm of history, or rather, it has become an entity that is difficult to grasp, with some exaggeration, a metaphor. This inquiry has set us off to map the present and recent past of the whole village from a historical and sociocultural perspective. We are presenting this research material here, processed with the methods of fine art. Our knowledge about the village and the bath is broken down into 8 thematic units in the exhibition: legends and facts that also relate to themes in a sense general, concerning life in Central Europe.
This complex material of memories is mixed with fiction in the virtual topographical meshwork presented in the exhibition space. Each station in the village map is followed by the individual themes raised, the related paintings, installations, photos, texts, graphic works and a video within the exhibition space.
Video, 10 min
We can see a film montage about a one-time public bath in a village (in North Hungary). Several memory versions were generated in the reflections of the villagers around the process of the bath coming to ruin. These were compiled into a continuous narrative, using the interviews and recordings taken at the premises, as well as quotes from films.
Arpad Dynasty
The Arpads or Arpads (Hungarian: Arpadok , Croatian: Arpadovici , Serbian: ÐÑпадовÑи , translit. Arpadovci, Slovak: Arpadovci ) was the ruling dynasty of the Principality of Hungary in the 9th and 10th centuries and of the Kingdom of Hungary from 1000 to 1301

We walked to the center of Veszprém where the Castle Hill is located. Many historic buildings are very well renovated, some of them are just being renovated. The Castle Hill is a really nice place with beautiful old buildings and churches. You can also have fantastic views of the whole area standing nearby the Statues of King Szent Istvan and Gizella.

Tourists Of Budapest
We almost get hit by cars after running to our Hungarian Parliament Tour, because our phone taxi never arrived. We see and take sneaky footage of the Hungarian Crown Jewels. We master the Hungarian Underground System and discover a giant fort, which turned out to be the Museum of Hungarian Agriculture, Jaki chapel and Vajdahunyad Castle and were unfortunately all closed. :(
We also visit the fantastic Heroes' Square, the gold and marble amazement that is St. Stephen's Basilica were Natalie gets a shock and we get to finally visit the beautiful Matthias Church.

SUMMARY
=======
Hungary (Hungarian: Magyarország [ˈmɒɟɒrorsaːɡ] ( listen)) is a country in Central Europe. Spanning 93,030 square kilometres (35,920 sq mi) in the Carpathian Basin, it borders Slovakia to the north, Ukraine to the northeast, Austria to the northwest, Romania to the east, Serbia to the south, Croatia to the southwest, and Slovenia to the west. With about 10 million inhabitants, Hungary is a medium-sized member state of the European Union. The official language is Hungarian, which is the most widely spoken Uralic language in the world. Hungary's capital and its largest city and metropolis is Budapest. Other major urban areas include Debrecen, Szeged, Miskolc, Pécs and Győr.
The territory of modern Hungary was for centuries inhabited by a succession of peoples, including Celts, Romans, Germanic tribes, Huns, West Slavs and the Avars. The foundations of the Hungarian state was established in the late ninth century AD by the Hungarian grand prince Árpád following the conquest of the Carpathian Basin. His great-grandson Stephen I ascended the throne in 1000, converting his realm to a Christian kingdom. By the 12th century, Hungary became a regional power, reaching its cultural and political height in the 15th century. Following the Battle of Mohács in 1526, Hungary was partially occupied by the Ottoman Empire (1541–1699). It came under Habsburg rule at the turn of the 18th century, and later joined Austria to form the Austro–Hungarian Empire, a major European power.The Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed after World War I, and the subsequent Treaty of Trianon established Hungary's current borders, resulting in the loss of 71% of its territory, 58% of its population, and 32% of ethnic Hungarians. Following the tumultuous interwar period, Hungary joined the Axis Powers in World War II, suffering significant damage and casualties. Hungary became a satellite state of the Soviet Union, which contributed to the establishment of a socialist republic spanning four decades (1949–1989). The country gained widespread international attention as a result of its 1956 revolution and the seminal opening of its previously-restricted border with Austria in 1989, which accelerated the collapse of the Eastern Bloc. On 23 October 1989, Hungary became a democratic parliamentary republic.In the 21st century, Hungary is a middle power and has the world's 57th largest economy by nominal GDP, as well as the 58th largest by PPP, out of 191 countries measured by IMF. As a substantial actor in several industrial and technological sectors, it is the world's 35th largest exporter and 34th largest importer of goods. Hungary is an OECD high-income economy with a very high standard of living. It keeps up a social security and universal health care system, and a tuition-free university education. Hungary performs well in international rankings: it is 20th in quality of life, 24th in the Good Country Index, 28th in inequality-adjusted human development, 32nd in the Social Progress Index, 33rd in the Global Innovation Index and ranks as the 15th safest country in the world.
Hungary joined the European Union in 2004 and has been part of the Schengen Area since 2007. Hungary is a member of the United Nations, NATO, WTO, World Bank, the AIIB, the Council of Europe, the Visegrád Group and more. Well known for its rich cultural history, Hungary has contributed significantly to arts, music, literature, sports and science and technology. Hungary is the 11th most popular country as a tourist destination in Europe, attracting 14.3 million international tourists in 2015. It is home to the largest thermal water cave system and the second largest thermal lake in the world, the largest lake in Central Europe and the largest natural grasslands in Europe.

SUMMARY
=======
A mosaic is a piece of art or image made from the assembling of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials. It is often used in decorative art or as interior decoration. Most mosaics are made of small, flat, roughly square, pieces of stone or glass of different colors, known as tesserae. Some, especially floor mosaics, are made of small rounded pieces of stone, and called pebble mosaics.
Mosaics have a long history, starting in Mesopotamia in the 3rd millennium BC. Pebble mosaics were made in Tiryns in Mycenean Greece; mosaics with patterns and pictures became widespread in classical times, both in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Early Christian basilicas from the 4th century onwards were decorated with wall and ceiling mosaics. Mosaic art flourished in the Byzantine Empire from the 6th to the 15th centuries; that tradition was adopted by the Norman Kingdom of Sicily in the 12th century, by the eastern-influenced Republic of Venice, and among the Rus in Ukraine. Mosaic fell out of fashion in the Renaissance, though artists like Raphael continued to practise the old technique. Roman and Byzantine influence led Jewish artists to decorate 5th and 6th century synagogues in the Middle East with floor mosaics.
Mosaic was widely used on religious buildings and palaces in early Islamic art, including Islam's first great religious building, the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, and the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus. Mosaic went out of fashion in the Islamic world after the 8th century.
Modern mosaics are made by professional artists, street artists, and as a popular craft. Many materials other than traditional stone and ceramic tesserae may be employed, including shells, glass and beads.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
A mosaic is a piece of art or image made from the assembling of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials. It is often used in decorative art or as interior decoration. Most mosaics are made of small, flat, roughly square, pieces of stone or glass of different colors, known as tesserae. Some, especially floor mosaics, are made of small rounded pieces of stone, and called pebble mosaics.
Mosaics have a long history, starting in Mesopotamia in the 3rd millennium BC. Pebble mosaics were made in Tiryns in Mycenean Greece; mosaics with patterns and pictures became widespread in classical times, both in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Early Christian basilicas from the 4th century onwards were decorated with wall and ceiling mosaics. Mosaic art flourished in the Byzantine Empire from the 6th to the 15th centuries; that tradition was adopted by the Norman Kingdom of Sicily in the 12th century, by the eastern-influenced Republic of Venice, and among the Rus in Ukraine. Mosaic fell out of fashion in the Renaissance, though artists like Raphael continued to practise the old technique. Roman and Byzantine influence led Jewish artists to decorate 5th and 6th century synagogues in the Middle East with floor mosaics.
Mosaic was widely used on religious buildings and palaces in early Islamic art, including Islam's first great religious building, the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, and the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus. Mosaic went out of fashion in the Islamic world after the 8th century.
Modern mosaics are made by professional artists, street artists, and as a popular craft. Many materials other than traditional stone and ceramic tesserae may be employed, including shells, glass and beads.
