when:
Budapest’s Ethnographic Museum opens its doors for “Building and Museum Functions – a Walk,” inviting visitors to take a closer look at the institution’s audacious architecture and the unconventional solutions woven into its construction. The tour seeks out the telltale signs of what truly makes a museum a museum, decoding how the exterior cladding hints at what’s inside and how a structure that at first looks like a simple metal grid pushes the boundaries between artistic disciplines. Inside, participants see how exhibitions have become an aesthetic part of the building’s vast central space, not just content placed within it.
