Balatonederics: African Museum celebrates founder's centenary
The late Dr. Nagy lived in Tanzania, Africa for forty years before returning to its native country, Hungary where he died in 1994.
Leaving Africa for his native country was quite emotional for Nagy, said Lady katie, the widow he left behind.
Katie added that her late husband did not want to divide his heart by shuttling between Tanzania and Hungary hence he set up "a small Africa" in a rural part of Lake Balaton - Balatonederics.
Even at death, our reporter gathered, Nagy did not forget Africa. And that was why half of his body was buried in Arusha, Tanzania.
The celebration was attended by relatives, acquaintances, hunting community and animal lovers who eulogized their friend for bringing Africa to Balatonederics which has since become attractive to tourists every year.
His eldest daughter, Diana Cardoso Nagy, recalled the first time they got to Arusha. "It
was like paradise," she said beaming with smiles. "However, Arusha is a big city with millions of people today."
