Budapest’s biggest park project continues — PHOTOS
Change language:
Europe’s largest cultural development, the Liget project, continues. The House of Hungarian Music and the new Ethnographic Museum will soon be handed over. In addition, a gate to the park will be built, and an airship is planned.
The House of Hungarian Music is planned to be handed over at the end of 2021. The building, designed by Japanese star architect Sou Fujimoto, has been among CNN’s most anticipated buildings to be completed this year. According to portfolio.hu, construction is progressing well. The roof structure interwoven with organically undulating holes and the huge glass wall are already visible in the park.
The House of Hungarian Music hosts, among other things, interactive music history exhibitions, concerts, and music classes.
Construction is also progressing well at the new Ethnographic Museum. The supporting structure has already been completed in the autumn, and it is planned that the new institution will gain its final form in the spring of 2022. In addition, the 800-space underground garage has been completed with the aim of reducing surface air pollution, writes vg.hu. There is a valid permit for the construction of three more buildings: the New National Gallery, the Hungarian Innovation House, and the Városliget Theatre.
The Hungarian government and the leadership of Budapest are constantly at war with each other.
How about a update on the other major civic projects.
It been years and it looks like nothing is happening with Applied Arts Museum. First museum I wanted to see his the history and industry museum only to find it closed- that was over 5 years ago.
