Néprajzi Múzeum, Budapest

Permanent

The Museum of Ethnography is one of Europe's prominent thematic museums, and its new building inaugurated in 2022 makes it one of the most modern ethnographic institutions in the world. In addition to 232,000 ethnographic objects, the Museum’s collection includes unique photographic records, manuscripts and photos, as well as folk music and film recordings. In addition to the priceless artefacts of Hungarian folk culture, the museum also houses the largest collection of ethnographic material representing the cultures of peoples of distant continents from the 17th century to the present day, including the various manifestations of everyday life, human existence and community relationships. The Museum's new building provides an opportunity to present this unique Hungarian and international material in an area almost three times larger than the old Kossuth Square building. The new collection exhibition extends beyond its designated space, having an effect on the entire building: visitors will not only experience new colours, materials and rearranged monumental spaces, but also new rest areas, multimedia applications and services.
