Budapest - Széchenyi National Library

The Széchenyi National Library has been housed in the southwest wing of the palace since 1985. This institution, founded by Count Ferenc Széchenyi in 1802, contains about 6 million documents, including well over 600,000 manuscripts and more than 180,000 maps. The highlight of the collection is the "Budapest Manuscripts", some of the oldest known medieval illuminated scripts.
