Located at the entrance of Budapest’s City Park, the Hungarian Ethnographic Museum is a landmark institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing cultural heritage from Hungary and around the world. Founded in 1872, the museum now resides in a striking, purpose-built facility designed by Napur Architect, featuring a pixelated façade inspired by ethnographic motifs and a rooftop garden offering panoramic views. Its vast collection includes over 250,000 objects, ranging from Hungarian folk costumes and ceramics to artifacts from Asia, Africa, and Oceania. The museum’s exhibitions explore themes of identity, tradition, and global cultural exchange, with highlights such as the Ceramic Space and interactive installations like ZOOM. As part of the Liget Budapest Project, the museum also serves as a hub for education and research, hosting workshops, lectures, and temporary exhibitions. With its innovative architecture and dynamic programming, the Hungarian Ethnographic Museum offers a compelling experience that bridges past and present, local and global, in one of Europe’s most modern cultural spaces.
Budapest HungaryThe Hungarian Ethnographic Museum (Néprajzi Múzeum) is located at Dózsa György út 35, at the main entrance of City Park (Városliget), one of Budapest’s oldest and most beloved green spaces. The museum’s award-winning contemporary building, opened in 2022, is notable for its sweeping, hill-like architecture and expansive roof garden with panoramic city views. In addition to its impressive ethnographic collections and interactive exhibitions, the museum offers on-site amenities including a bookshop, restaurant, library, and children’s museum. Its location places visitors directly at the doorstep of City Park, where attractions such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the popular Széchenyi Thermal Bath, Vajdahunyad Castle, the City Park Ice Rink, and the Budapest Zoo are all within easy walking distance. The nearby Heroes’ Square, a major city landmark, anchors the park’s entrance and connects the area to the elegant Andrássy Avenue, making the museum an ideal gateway for exploring both Budapest’s rich cultural heritage and its vibrant urban parklands.
