The large Neoclassical style structure, designed by architects Albert Schickedanz and Fülöp Herczog, was completed in 1896.[5] It was originally built for millennium celebrations.[5]
Its portico is in the Greek Revival style. The three-bayed, semi-circular apse houses a roofed exhibition hall with skylights. The building was renovated in 1995.[5]
