About the Exhibition: Culture and patronage in Hungary between 1920 and 1944, during the “getting back on their feet” era after the signing of the Treaty of Trianon, which ended World War I (and which annexed two-thirds of Hungary's territory!). 
It gives a unique picture of the scientific improvements and culture of a quarter of a century. 
During this period lived e.g. János Neumann, the founding father of the modern computer, Ede Teller, the inventor of the hydrogen bomb, Albert Szent-Györgyi, the exploler of vitamin C, and most of the leading researchers in the Manhattan Project*, e.g. Leó Szilárd, the inventor of the nuclear reactor, Tódor Kármán, the father of supersonic flight, Jenő Wigner, the improver of the theory of nuclei and elementary particles, etc.

*The Manhattan Project was a joint venture for the development of nuclear weapons during World War II, involving the United States, Great Britain, and Canada. President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided to launch it in 1942 on the initiative of the Hungarian Leó Szilárd (who was also supported by Albert Einstein).
