The Eighth Biennale of Venice in
1909 was enriched with three new foreign pavilions including
that of Hungary, who conceived the architect sculptor Géza Marot,
inspired on the traditions of art history and Hungarians.
The mosaics were made by Miksa Roth, based on drawings by A.
Korösfoi.
At the 1948 Biennale, an exhibition was staged elsewhere to
allow the restoration of the roof damaged, but continuing delays
kept it closed until '58, when Agost Benkhard partially rebuilt
it.
