Budapest’s House of Music among Time Out’s ‘best new things’ – video
Change language:
Visiting the House of Music — a tribute to Hungarian musicians who have made their mark on the world — is runner-up on Time Out magazine’s list of “best new things to do in the world in 2022”, project company Városliget said.
Time Out calls the House of Music “the standout initiative” of the Liget Budapest project which aims to rehabilitate the capital’s City Park and transform it into a museum island.
The Hungarian House of Music, which is part of the Liget Budapest project, was ranked 2nd in the top list of new attractions and events that Time Out recommends to international tourism as outstanding new venues and events for the new year.
The summary recalls that the House of Hungarian Music came second to such cultural world sensations as the Museum of Broadway in New York, the Museum of Modern Art in Istanbul, the Taiwanese Art Centre and the Great Egyptian Museum in Cairo, with its complete collection of the Tomb of Tutankhamun, among others.
In first place was the Paris museum dedicated to the life’s work of French singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg.
The spectacular Hungarian House of Music was completed in December and will open its doors to the public at the end of January as a unique music immersion complex.
Designed by the Japanese star architect Fujimoto Su, the organically undulating, perforated roof structure and huge glass walls of the building are unmistakable and it is no coincidence that it is considered one of the most anticipated new buildings in the world by the international music industry.
