How comes together a school in Budapest and the Manhattan project in Los Alamos?
Somewhen around 1940: Los Alamos Laboratory, known as „Project Y”, was conceived during the early part of World War II. The United States wanted to build an atomic explosive to counter the threat posed by the German nuclear development program. The term Manhattan Project came about because the program began under the Manhattan Engineering District of the War Department.
One day when the greatest physicists and mathematicians of the time were working on the super-secret Manhattan Project and Enrico Fermi left the room, one of the others suggested: “Let’s continue the discussion in Hungarian.” The other scientists were all Hungarian.
Moreover, they had all attended Budapest’s famous Lutheran Grammar School. A certain Mr Rácz was their legendary maths teacher. On receiving the Nobel Prize, Eugene Wigner thanked him for all the years and what he had learnt in that grammar school.

This walking tour introduces you to Budapest’s most fascinating contemporary stories, legends and myths will take you back to the enchanted garden of the turn of the century.
Following west European patterns, the aristocracy and the upper middle classes had wonderful Classicist, Eclectic and Art Nouveau mansions, villas  and schools constructed. The spectacle of buildings flanking the city centre’s main axis, Andrássy Avenue, reflects that era. A number of the beautiful façades, carved entrances and breathtakingly beautiful interiors have been revived in the past decade.
