Museum of Ethnography – Everyday Beauty on a Monumental Scale

The new home of the Museum of Ethnography feels like a contemporary poem: curved, translucent, yet profound. Here, it is not kings and queens who tell their stories, but everyday life — the way we live, celebrate, work, and dress. The exhibitions sensitively reveal the richness of Hungarian and global folk cultures, while the space itself inspires: expansive, light-filled, welcoming.

Our guests are often surprised at the beauty hidden in simple, everyday objects. An embroidered shawl, a rustic instrument, or a ceremonial costume — each is not just a display item, but a storyteller. The museum’s interactive spaces make it accessible for children, while adults immerse themselves in the layers of heritage.

From Alice Hotel, a pleasant stroll leads you here, ready to not only see, but to understand. The Museum of Ethnography shows us not just the past — but the community we share.
