History

The bust of the Hungarian playwright and stage director is standing in front of the Szigliget Theatre. Margó Ede's work was inaugurated on 12 December 1912. After the Romanian occupation, in 1921, the statue was moved and replaced by a statue of the Romanian Queen Maria. In 1937, the bust, which had already been moved, was also dismantled and moved to the museum together with the statue of the martyr Szacsvay Imre. The bust was returned to its original place after the Second Vienna Award on 22 February 1941.
