Rising from Várósliget, Budapest’s grand City Park, is a structure that appears at once modern and in harmony with the greenery of its natural surroundings. Indeed, trees shoot through the airy roof of the slightly mushroom shaped building. This was part of the vision of Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto, who won the competition to design the Hungarian House of Music, the construction of which was completed only a few months ago. With an open air stage, interactive educational exhibits, and a pleasingly warm appearance, the project has been called an ‘instant landmark’.

But what is the purpose of this unique institution? In the Hungarian House of Music’s own words: It is our mission to promote music so that it would play a defining role in the lives of every family, child and young adult. We hope to achieve this through the nurturing and experience-based presentation of the values of Hungarian folk music, classical music, popular music and other genres of global music. We regard it as our task to build a community and cater to communal experiences. While nurturing traditions, we seek to create an institution distinguished by a progressive approach coupled with the spirit of experimentation and discovery, providing outstanding quality in every respect.

Under the auspices of the Liget Budapest Project, which is bringing multiple museums, and other renovations to the beloved City Park, the House of Music is the first of the cultural institutions to open. The project is already generating international buzz, with Culture Trip naming the Hungarian House of Music one of the ‘Greatest Travel Experiences’ to anticipate in 2022.

Have a look at the promotional video, which features shots of the structure and architect Sou Fugimoto discussing the project, giving an international take on the distinctly Hungarian project.
