The museum was built between 1893 and 1896 and was designed by Ödön Lechner in the Hungarian Secession style. It has a green roof and the interior is designed using Hindu, Mogul, and Islamic designs.[1] The building is in need of renovation, for which plans have been developed. It’s under renovation now.
