Millennium Haza / House Of The Hungarian Millennium

About

One of the Városliget's most beautiful buildings, the former Olof Palme House, has been renovated. Among the oldest structures in the park and formerly a venue for the "Hungarian millennium" exhibition, the building was opened to the public in October, 2019 thanks to the Liget Budapest Project. The house has been restored with a focus on tradition but in accordance with the standards of the 21st century, with the exhibition NEO Contemporary Art Space, and a cosy Zsolnay Cafe, evoking the mood of the turn of 20th century. The mission of the NEO Contemporary Art Space is to become an exhibition space for the world’s foremost contemporary fine artists in Budapest’s City Park. In search of an international parallel, it is perhaps the Serpentine Gallery in London’s Kensington Gardens park, whose mission is the closest to that embraced by NEO in regard to location, appearance and function alike.
