Built Secrets - The Buildings and Sculptures of the Botanic Garden
Hungary's oldest botanical garden is worthy of its main purpose, with more than 8,000 plant species on display, but it also hides many secrets that are not mentioned on botanical information panels. Buildings, monuments, statues - our plants usually take pride of place in their modest setting, and little is said about them. But this time the tables are turned: the focus is on the built treasures of the Botanic Garden - everything that is not a plant!
