The Metropolitan Ervin Szabó Library's main branch is housed in the 19th-century neo-baroque Wenckheim Palace.[citation needed]
The municipal library needed more space as its collection grew, so it expanded to a network of additional buildings while restoring the palace as a national monument. The library is now 13,000 m2 and houses Budapest's largest public collection of books with a capacity for 1,100,000 volumes.[citation needed]
In 2003, the International Real Estate Federation awarded the Prix d’Excellence to its central building.[1]
