     Also, the Agricultural Museum in Budapest, which since 1897 has been occupying one of the buildings of Budapest Castle Vajdahunyad, located in the City Park – Városliget, near the famous Heroes' Square, was visited. The architectural ensemble of Vajdahunyad Castle buildings harmoniously combines different styles of their fragments, built in Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles. The museum features the history of agriculture since ancient times to our days. The scientific journey proved to be productive and successful. We wish the students further achievements in science and patience and endurance to their instructors while training would-be scientists and entrepreneurs.
