SZON, HUNGARY.-The Börzsöny Museum presents Our Breathing Heritage - Early landscape gardening in Hungary, on view through September 18, 2005. "Our Breathing Heritage" is the title of an exhibition organised by the Cultural Heritage Protection Office, the Landscape and Garden Architecture Department of the State Monument Renovation and Restoration Centre, and the Garden Art Faculty of Corvinus University. The Börzsöny Museum Friendly Society undertook to provide a venue for the exhibition in the Börzsöny Museum in Szob, with the assistance of Dr Károly Örsi landscape and garden architect.

The group of pictures depicting our protected living heritage was given the subtitle "Early Garden Architecture Creations in Hungary", which signifies that this temporary exhibition presents the appearance and spread of garden art in Hungary. Garden design and construction appeared in the Kingdom of Hungary at the time of the Renaissance, but only reconstructible remnants have remained for us (as we can see in the case of the Visegrád palace).

Following the Turkish occupation Baroque garden architecture became popular due to French influences; the exhibition provides us with several characteristic creations of this. Following a short temporary period (influenced by the English), at the time of the turn of the 18th-19th centuries classical landscape gardens started to appear, one of the best reminders of which is the castle garden in Alcsútdoboz.
