The Library will be closed between the 23rd of December 2024 and the 1st of January 2025. Our library's services will be available from the 2nd of January 2025.

Due to the relocation of our external warehouse the books and doctoral dissertations stored there, as well as the entire stock of the library's periodicals, will be unavailable until the beginning of January 2025. Many of our books are still available for loan and current literature can be found on the open shelves.

Under the spell of Accuracy – Virtual tour

A virtual version of our popular periodical exhibition entitled Under the spell of Accuracy. The Life and Work of Loránd Eötvös is now available.

Through the family heritage, life path, physical and geophysical experimental tools of Loránd Eötvös, the exhibition provides an insight into the life, scientific achievements and way of thinking of the scientist teacher, as well as the everyday life behind him.

Wandering around our virtual exhibition spaces – in addition to viewing contemporary documents and instruments – you can immerse yourself in the world of physics and one of the greatest figures in the history of Hungarian science with exciting video and audio materials, interactive and quiz games.

The five virtual spaces – An Exceptional Life Path, Physics Archive, Sensational Science, In the Footsteps of Eötvös, Eötvös’ Stereo Images – can be accessed separately from the main page, but you are also able to navigate with the help of the forward and backward arrows. Moreover, with the modern Immersive Reader function, we provide support for our visitors with special needs by reading the texts.

Discover the exhibition now! Let the adventure begin!
