The BRB Guide to Budapest: Paul Street Past and Present

Summary/Abstract: This is the Year of the Millecentenary Commemoration: Magyar tribes arrived roughly eleven centuries ago in the present “homeland”. It was in 1882 that the Academy of Sciences delegated a committee to decide when the tribes originally arrived. The year 895 was then pinpointed by the committee. Later, when the year 1895 was imminent, and the ambitious commemoration program was somewhat behind schedule, the government decided to postpone the whole event a year: instead of 1895: 1896. So what we celebrate this year is that Hungary is about 11 centuries old.
