📖📚📗METROPOLITAN ERVIN SZABÓ LIBRARY- HUNGARY 📒📚📖 🇭🇺
Fővárosi Szabó Ervin Könyvtár (literally Metropolitan Ervin Szabó Library) is the largest library network in Budapest, Hungary.
The Metropolitan Ervin Szabó Library’s main branch is housed in the 19th-century neo-baroque Wenckheim Palace.
The Incredible Szabó Ervin library in Budapest is a hidden treasure, left out of guidebooks, tucked into a busy section of the city. But for those in the know, the Szabó Ervin Library is a stunning step back to a time when libraries were like mansions – perhaps that’s because it’s in one.
The municipal library needed more space as its collection grew, so it expanded to a network of additional buildings while restoring the palace as a national monument. The library is now 13,000 m² and houses Budapest’s largest public collection of books with a capacity for 1,100,000 volumes.
