The Court of Justice Palace, a Horse Cart Along the Street
The domed Court of Justice palace occupies a full block, its arched windows and columned entrance facing a fenced garden. A horse cart and a scatter of pedestrians stand along the street. A sender has written an address across the sky to a recipient on Futtaki utca. The caption is printed in Hungarian, Serbian Cyrillic, and German, naming the building Kir. törvényszék palotája, Судски сто, and Palais des kön. Gerichtshofes.

About this place
The court house stands at the Danube park end of Dunavska street and was raised in 1896 to plans by the Budapest architect Gyula Wagner. Under Hungarian rule it held the royal court of justice, and a trilingual postcard of 1915 labels it M. Kir. Törvényszék, Окружни суд and Justizpalais, giving the Hungarian, Serbian and German names in turn. It went on housing courts after 1918, when the city passed to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The Vojvodina Museum, founded in 1947 and without adequate premises for decades, moved into the former courthouse in 1974 and occupies it still under the name Museum of Vojvodina.
