Above the central projection a globe rests on the shoulders of huge legendary Hungarian figures, indicating the function of the institute operating within the building. The ceramic facade is richly decorated with both folk and geological motifs.

In the curiously shaped interior halls the majority of the glass in the partitions, doors, and windows are etched with Hungarian ornamentation. The architecturally decorated walls are rendered spectacular by painted motifs.

The exhibitions of the National Geological Museum and an exhibition commemorating the architect Lechner can both be visited in this building. There is access for the disabled."
