The exhibition, entitled Well-known Hungarians: From the Trianon Past to the Schengen Future, was opened by Joseph Daul, head of the Christian-Democratic-Conservative group of the European People's Party.
"The future of Europe rests on efforts to preserve common values and to build a union based on mutual trust and respect," Bauer said.
The photographs and other documents on display are on loan from the Hungarian National Museum, the Hopp Ferenc Museum and the archives of the Hungarian News Agency (MTI).
