Az indológus indián. Baktay Ervin emlékezete
A book on the founder of the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Asiatic Arts was published in 2008 under the mysterious title “The man of Buitenzorg villa”. In 1919, Ferenc Hopp in his last will bequeathed his home – the Buitenzorg villa on Andrássy street – and his Oriental collection of approximately 4,000 items to the Hungarian state under the condition that the villa would house a museum of Eastern Asiatic arts.
