He was followed by Ernő Görgényi, Mayor of Gyula, who emphasized in his welcome speech that in addition to the permanent exhibition at the Almásy Castle, they have always strived to enrich the cultural life of the city with temporary exhibitions, thus they are pleased to announce this opening and to welcome the Otto von Habsburg Foundation as a new professional partner. To conclude, Gergely Prőhle, Director of the Otto von Habsburg Foundation, opened the exhibition, highlighting the legacy that Charles IV left to his son Otto, who considered his father a life-long role model.
