Ethnography this
The new Museum of Ethnography in Budapest looks like a masterpiece by NAPUR Architect. Given the multiple awards, it’s not hard to see why. As part of the Liget Budapest Project, Europe’s largest urban-cultural development, this museum blends dynamic and simple lines to harmonise with the surrounding park and urban area. Featuring design elements like a glass curtainwall and landscaped roof garden, the building stands as a symbol of contemporary architecture. Inside, flexible spaces cater to both historical and contemporary exhibits, the fostering of social dialogue, inclusivity and experiential learning.
