Dear Visitors,

Due to an event to be held in Sándor Palace, on Wednesday October 7,  between circa 10 and 12 a.m. and also between 2 and 3 p.m., total closedown can be expected periodically in the area from Dísz Square to Lion Courtyard.

During closedown, pedestrian traffic will be prohibited. In order to easily access our Library, we suggest you to use the Express Elevator to be found at the entrance at Palota Street, just above Dózsa Square.

NSZL has just finished the overall processing of Sándor Apponyi’s small but significant bibliophile collection which had been donated to the Hungarian national library in 1924. Description of over 500 works can be accessed from the Library’s online catalog.

National Széchényi Library is proud to present a new content service on the Day of the Hungarian Drama, a virtual version of its chamber exhibition which was entitled Glimpse into the Secret File and was made, with the instruction of Dr. Edit Rajnai, to commemorate the 100th anniversary (2013) of Hilda Gobbi’s birth.

The 24^th Buda Castle Wine Festival, Wine Exhibition and Fair will be held between September 9 and 13, 2015 on the terraces and courtyards of Buda Castle (East Terrace, West Terrace, Lion Courtyard and Hunyadi Courtyard).  You can approach the main entrance of National Széchényi Library by presenting your Reader Pass, or if you are not a registered reader of the Library, or wish to visit NSZL for any other reason, the staff of the Wine Festival will guide you to the main entrance of the Library.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused!

Dear Visitors,

We would like to inform you that, as opposed to the extraordinary closure of the Library on Tuesday September 22, 2015, scheduled previously due to technical reasons, on the above date National Széchényi Library will be open during its usual opening hours, i.e. between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.

We are looking forward to seeing you then.
