Judged by the world’s top eighty international experts, the award was an important recognition of a public investment, Gyorgyevich said.

The prize, he added, is a commendation not only of Hungarian architecture but of Hungarian innovation and culture, too.

The new Ethnographic Museum, designed by architecture firm NAPUR, will be located in Budapest’s Liget, one of the oldest public parks in Europe.
