Godot Institute of Contemporary Art
Housed in a repurposed textile factory in Óbuda, the Godot Institute of Contemporary Art is one of Budapest’s most dynamic cultural spaces. Founded in 2019, this independent institution spans four floors and hosts exhibitions, performances, and artist residencies that spotlight emerging and established talent. With a focus on Hungarian contemporary art, the institute has gained international attention through events like the Godot Art Expo, which showcases thousands of works—including original pieces by Banksy. The venue’s industrial charm and flexible layout support a wide range of media, from painting and sculpture to digital installations and live art. Beyond exhibitions, Godot fosters dialogue through guided tours, workshops, and collaborative projects, positioning itself as a launchpad for creative exchange. Its multiple locations, including the Godot Gallery and Godot Labor, offer diverse experiences across Budapest. Welcoming visitors with coffee, music, and even canine companions, the institute redefines the museum experience as a vibrant, social encounter with contemporary creativity.
Budapest HungaryGodot Institute of Contemporary Art is located at Fényes Adolf utca 21, 1037 Budapest, in the Óbuda district, where it occupies a distinctive four-storey space formerly used as a textile factory.
