Although I do not speak Hungarian, maybe someone will translate what I have written.
(Always at your service!). In case you need further statue images for your HP, just drop me a line. Although having a lot of pictures from yours and from the 'net, there are many I have photographed on my own. Thus, in case you'd like to have some of them, please let me know.

Hallo Gabi!
Vielen Dank für Deine Infos und Links...
Hi Gabi!
Many thanks for your infos and links. Unfortunately I have heard about the bust inside the "fekete ház" at Szeged only after my visit there. Regarding schools at Budapest I have the following information available
This bust has been unveiled at the "Erzsébet Királyné Szolgáltató és Kereskedelmi Szakközépiskola és Szakiskola" in Pesterzsébet on Nov. 14, 2002.
Another Elisabeth bust appears on the school's photo album.
A further Elisabeth bust is said to be on display at "Teleki Blanka Gimnázium", named the "Erzsébet Nőiskola" between 1898 to 1950. Unfortunately I am in Hungary mostly during the holiday seasons, when schools are being closed.
It's often difficult getting your own images from busts. I'd like to depict one example here. Last year I took a stroll through the widespread parkway of the "Erzsébet királyné szanatorium" (Queen Elisabeth sanatorium) at Budakeszi and only discovered the "Erzsébet Pavilon" (Elisabeth Pavillion) badge. Having been made curious by the
pictures on Gabi's HP and pledged my wife last Saturday to accompany me during a second visit to the sanatorium - which is named "Országos Korányi Tbc és Pulmonológiai Intézet" today. Prior to entering the building you'll be warned of possible infections (TBC). That's why my wife asked at a kiosk for the subject. The response: "There's no such thing here!".
A nurse at the food service relegated to building "J", where there should be an exhibition on the history of this hospital on the third floor. "But whether's a bust there???" she asked, and twitched with her shoulders. After some research we finally detected the "J" building. My wife's feet were already aching and she refused to walk up to the third floor with me. Thus, I went there alone. After passing the second floor, a servicing cart blocked the stairways ahead. That's why I turned to the lady at the reception and have been informed this being a hospital rather than a museum, and her knowing nothing about a bust. A pity!
Leaving the building already, my wife started a final attempt with the porter. "There is an Elisabeth bust on display in front of the Elisabeth-Pavillion!" he reckoned. "Indeed, but that's the one by Korányi, after whom the hospital is named after", I replied. Now a further person from a side room joined the discussion. He confirmed the nurse's statement (J-pavillion, third floor) and enquired, whether we'd like to come back againg the next morning (Sunday). Then he'd show us the bust.
Enthusiastically I agreed and the next morning we arrived at the portal in time. The friendly man welcomed us and I was allowed to drive with him to the J building in his car. There he took us to the third floor (still blocked by the service cart). There we found
a very large Elisabeth bust. I was allowed to take extensive photos and to look at the small exhibition featuring images and informations on the hospital. With a tip we expressed gratitude to this friendly gent, who sacrificed nearly one hour for us.
As we indended to drive to Budapest castle afterwardds, the direct way led via the Budakeszi út. There it is said the
Kochmeister Villa to be situated (this was a hot topic here approx. one year ago). However, from the gate there was hardly anything more to see from it as last year - as expected. That said, I drove one lap around the block. In a parallel road I found an open gate. Through tall pasture and nettle I fought my way to a house on the property and took some photos.
During the following internet research I was able to clearly identify the building. Unfortunately, it wasn't the sought-after
Kochmeister-Villa (which should have number 71), but number 67. A near miss! Now there are two possibilities: Either the
Kochmeister-Villa is no more existing and the property is overgrown - or the number 69 is non-existent. However, the
Csendilla-Villa is visible from the road and adorned with her name.
Afterwards, we drove to Budapest Castle. There I went to Vár Múzeum (Castle Museum). The images on their website should be taken during a special exhibition in 2007. In fact, I found nothing of it in the current display! But I have found
a marble Elisabeth bust!
A visit to the St Matthew's Church sadly drew a blank. The fresco depicting the coronation ceremony had been visible only from far. The way up to the emporum was blocked. Thus, I didn't have access to the Elisabeth bust beneath the stairs. However, "to postpone does not mean to nullify". (a popular German saying). Then I'll try again next year. Possibly, the renovation in these areas have then been finished. The looks of the
Fisherman's Bastion and the St Matthew's Church is overwhelming every time!
