Hungary to buy more Munkácsy paintings
Talks have already begun with Imre Pákh, the owner of the collection, according to hvg.hu. The location of the new museum is not final but will probably be the Várkert Bazár Casino.
According to the confidential document, it was Imre Pákh who offered the collection fr sale to the government. "The significance of the works of art justify setting up a museum as the Pákh collection consists of the world's second largest Munkácsy collection that has been purposely built and scientifically processed over the past decades," the document states.
The Hungarian government paid HUF 3 billion for the Munkácsy painting Golgotha in January.
