The Hungarian National Museum in Budapest was designed by Mihály Pollack. The article names no client, but Parliament voted half a million forints toward the new building between 1832 and 1834. The text says it was purpose-built from 1837 to 1847 but also says the museum moved there in 1846. The infobox's 2006 is a photo caption, not a construction date.
The article calls the style Neoclassical. Raffael Monti made the portico statues, and Károly Lotz and Mór Than painted the stair and ceiling from 1875. It gives no materials or dimensions.
The building figured in the 1848 Revolution. The natural history and ethnography collections split off in 1949, and the Esztergom Castle Museum joined in 1985. A 2023 World Press Photo restriction led to the director's dismissal. It has seven permanent displays, including the Coronation Mantle. The article gives no hours or ticket prices.
