About the library:
In 1888, Vilmos Schulek established a fund to support the operation of the Ophthalmological Library, so the library can be dated to this year. It was during Emil Grósz’s professorship that the library was named after Schulek, but this was not officially done until 2013. The library includes the collections of the Ophthalmology Clinic No. I in Tömő Street and the Ophthalmology Clinic No. II in Mária Street, which operated in parallel until 2013.
The library consists of two rooms and its furniture is of historic character, dating from the original 1908 furniture of the Mária Street Clinic, which has of course been carefully restored. The smaller room is a kind of Schulek memorial room, in which decorative letters relating to Vilmos Schulek are on display.
