The Petőfi Museum of Literature brings literary manuscripts and national memory into the historic rooms of Károlyi Palace.
A palace for the written word
The museum is housed in one of Budapest's notable classicist buildings. It collects and interprets writings and objects associated with Hungarian authors, allowing manuscripts and personal possessions to become historical evidence.
Why the name Petőfi matters
Sándor Petőfi remains strongly associated with the Hungarian national awakening and 1848 Revolution. A museum named after him also explores a wider range of literary voices, revealing how the country's changing identity has been expressed through literature.
