A new home for the Museum of Ethnography was inaugurated in Budapest’s City Park on Sunday.
László Baán, the government commissioner for Liget Budapest, a project that aims to rehabilitate the City Park and transform it into a magnet for locals and visitors, praised the “genius” of the building’s architect, Marcel Ferencz, and thanked Prime Minister Viktor Orbán for his personal support.

The Museum of Ethnography now has a “world-class” new home, he added.
Museum director Lajos Kemecsi said the 150-year-old institution was getting a home “tailored to its own needs” for the very first time.
On Monday, the new building will open its doors to the public.
