Defence ministry moving to ‘historical’ location
The defence ministry will move "organisational units of its leadership" to the former building of the Military History Museum in the Castle District, the ministry said in a statement on Monday.
The 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 Balna building on the Pest side as well as to Szekesfehervar, in central-western Hungary, while the military history archives will stay in the same building with the ministry, the statement said.
