BLT AWARDS 2022

The incomparable building with its design evoking a pair of nearly embracing hillsides is distinguished by its unique facade decoration of almost half a million pixels presenting a contemporary adaptation of ethnographic motifs, as well as by its huge roof garden from the highest point of which a stunning panorama opens up.Sixty percent of the structure is under ground level, and thanks to the landscaped roof and the transparency of the sections over the ground, the new museum is adapted to its environment in its scale too. The grass-covered roof area will be a pleasant community space awaiting visitors to Városliget. The new functions and flexible spaces of the modern and state-of-the-art museum building will facilitate the understanding of the historical heritage embodied by the collection as well as the various aspects of contemporary society.The Museum of Ethnography is already recognized as one of the most exciting contemporary building in the continent. It has won the fiercely contested title of World’s Best Architecture and Europian Best Public Building at the 2018 International Property Awards.
