New Budapest Gallery
Set to rise in Budapest’s City Park as part of the Liget Budapest Project, the New Budapest Gallery will become Hungary’s largest museum dedicated to modern European fine art. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects SANAA, the gallery will span nearly 50,000 square meters and house unified collections from the Museum of Fine Arts and the Hungarian National Gallery. Built on the former site of Petőfi Hall, the structure will feature airy, light-filled spaces that harmonize with the surrounding park. Its exhibitions will showcase masterpieces from the 19th century to the present, blending Hungarian and international works. The gallery aims to be a cultural cornerstone, offering interactive displays, temporary exhibitions, and artistic programs that engage a wide audience. Construction is expected to begin in 2025, with the gallery poised to elevate Budapest’s status as a leading European cultural destination.
Budapest HungaryThe New Budapest Gallery is located on the first floor of the Bálna Budapest, a striking whale-shaped glass and steel cultural complex on the Danube riverbank at Fővám tér 11-12, in the 9th district of central Pest. This contemporary art space, a division of the Budapest History Museum, is dedicated to showcasing innovative Hungarian and international art from the 20th and 21st centuries.
