Hungary and Lower Austria were “united” by the Habsburg dynasty for almost 500 years before, but they will continue to maintain close ties as a country and a separate state, he said.
Hermann Dikowitsch, department head for arts and culture at Lower Austria’s provincial government, highlighted “the heritage” of the long common past and praised the Budapest museum for its “impressive collection”.
