Historic Move: Military Museum in Buda Castle Makes Way for Hungarian Defence Ministry
The defence ministry said it is moving “organisational units of its leadership” to the former building of the Military History Museum in the Castle District.

Its statement noted that the first independent defence ministry, set up in 1867, had been placed in the Castle, “an iconic site of Hungarian history, culture, and politics”.

The collections of the Military History Museum will be moved to the Bálna building on the Pest side as well as to Székesfehérvár, in central Hungary, while the military history archives will stay in the same building with the ministry, the statement said.
