History
Orbán Balázs (1829-1890) was a world-famous geographical and ethnographic writer and photographer. One of his best-known works is the six-volume Description of Székelyland from a Historical, Archaeological, Natural and Ethnographic Point of View (1868-73).
The bust is the work of Varga Gábor, a sculptor from Dombóvár, who also created the relief of the Hungarian coat of arms that was reinstalled on the facade of the Salamon Ernő High School.
