Liget Budapest Project - 10 years in the making

The Liget Budapest Project is currently Europe’s largest-scale and most complex cultural urban development project. It is aimed at the comprehensive development of the 100-hectare City Park in Budapest and includes the renewal and enlargement of the park’s green areas and recreational functions as well as those of its hundreds of years’ old institutions. New institutions have been or are being constructed only on locations that were previously occupied by buildings or parking areas, which means that the developments will not reduce the green areas even by a square metre. After the project is implemented in its entirety, the City Park, i.e. the Liget Budapest, will be one of Europe’s largest and most complex cultural districts with its developments encompassing 150 years.

Introducing the New National Gallery by SANAA

As part of the Liget Budapest Project, the New National Gallery will be constructed based on the designs of Pritzker Prize-winning architects SANAA (Sejima and Nishizawa and Associates) on the former site of the Petőfi Csarnok concert venue. The architects of the new museum were selected following an international tender process. For the winning design, the Japanese architects envisioned an interactive and welcoming, yet modern 21st century building to occupy the Városliget. The Japanese firm already has a number of outstanding museum buildings to its name, including the new Louvre Museum in Lens and the New Contemporary Art Museum in New York.
