Called The Gate of the City Park, it will contain several floors of exhibition galleries at both ends and an expansive open space at the centre, while its roof is intended as a new public gathering space.

The Museum of Ethnography was established in 1872 and is the foremost institution of ethnographic science, European ethnology and cultural anthropology in Hungary. It is currently located in a Neo-Renaissance palace.

Set to open in 2019, the new building will make it possible to exhibit a much larger quantity of the museum’s collections. It will be the first purpose-built structure for the institution in its 144-year history.
