ROOM 15. Education, Science and Culture at the End of the 19th Century (Katalin Körmöczi - Eszter Aczél - Annamária T. Németh - Edit Haider)

78. Meerschaum pipe with figures from Hungarian history, 1896 The Millennium, and the years around then turn of the 20th century, live in memory as the "Happy Times of Peace" (Fig. 78). The building up of the country and bourgeois-type state development - starting and stopping, sometime slipping back, but ultimately making progress - and the creation of a national culture characterized the period. The balance was positive at the end of the century. After a successful 19th century, the 20th seemed promising, and the conflicts did not indicate the proximity of a change of era and of a world conflagration.
