The new Museum of Ethnography is the subject of passionate collection of hopes and demands. The people of Budapest want a new kind of public space, an instrument of delight and information in the heart of the city. This demand for the new piece of City Park creates an amazing opportunity for a new popular architectural landmark, born not out of vanity but of necessity and desire to improve as citizens, as communities and as a nation. We tried to put great emphasis on Museum of Ethnography’s social dimension as cultural center. In our design visitor friendly spaces and the diversified functions of the building support the social institutional mission of the Museum.
In this concept ethnographical museology is an initiating and diversified contact zone and at the same time an inter-cultural centre. Proposed building presents with itself idea of diversity. It was important for us to express the idea clearly and understandable but not naive or trivial. The idea of diversity is manifested at many levels of interpretation and can be seen in almost every aspect of museum’s operation.
