Ópusztaszer National Historical Memorial Park

This 55-acre park was interesting to walk through, although I must admit I most wanted to see a series of buildings designed by Hungarian organic architect Csete György. The park is host to an enormous panoramic painting (120 meters, or 394 feet, long) of the taking of the Carpathian Basin by the Magyar hordes under Árpád around 896 (no pictures allowed, unfortunately). There are also several memorials to various people and events as well as an excellent skanzen, or open-air museum.
