and Matthias Corvinus (1458-1490). The famous Gothic sculpture find in Buda, of which 20 items were exhibited in Braunschweig, thank their existence to Sigismund, whereas under Matthias many architectural details in the style of the Italian early Renaissance were completed. These were partly also exhibited together with gothic stone fragments of the palace, dating, however, from the same period as the Renaissance ones. Next to reconstruction of stone and brick monuments, which are more frequently exhibited, attention must be called to the extremely rich collection of 14th to 16th century tiles of which the Museum of the History of Budapest has, perhaps, the best collection in Europe. The most beautiful pieces of King Matthias's majolica workshop were also on display. The late mediaeval Hungarian capital itself was less attractively presented. Stone fragments, sculptures and, first and foremost, a rich collection of drawings and photographs were meant to give an idea of the architectural character of the town through its churches, monasteries, and civic buildings. Crafts and trade in the late mediaeval period was demonstrated by large numbers of archeological finds. With the presentation of grave stones it was attempted to give an impression of how varied the town's social and ethnic structure was. The last but one unit of the exhibition completed the general impression by presenting the villages and monasteries in the near vicinity of the town as well as a royal hunting seat. Miklós HORLER: The speech delivered at the opening of the exhibition in commemoration of the architect Frigyes Schulek On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Frigyes Schulek, former professor of architecture at the Budapest Polytechnics, the institut organised a symposium and arranged an exhibition. The speaker calls attention to the increasing interest in the history and personalities of 19th century architecture. Thus, lately, József Hild's, Imre Henszelmann's, Imre Steindl's oeuvre was, and now that of Frigyes Schulek's is subject to scientific discussion. Frigyes Schulek, a pupil of Friedrich Schmidt, was an important representative of the 19th century neoGothic trend. During the 20 years of his activity at the Hungarian Office of Monument Protection as leading architect he was a determining character in this field. This latter aspect of his professional activity has not yet been properly analysed.
