House of the Hungarian Millennium, Eclectic building in Zugló, Hungary
The House of the Hungarian Millennium is an eclectic building featuring striking Zsolnay ceramic decorations across its exterior. It contains a conference hall, exhibition spaces, offices, and a café designed in the style of the late 19th century.
The building was constructed in 1885 for a national exhibition and later served as Budapest's city museum until World War II. It sustained significant damage during the war but was subsequently restored.
The building houses a contemporary art venue that regularly presents exhibitions and works with schools and cultural institutions. Visitors can experience current artistic directions and engage with educational programs offered on-site.
The building has multiple entrances, including one on Hermina Street, and is easily accessible by public transportation. Inside, stairs and elevators help visitors navigate, and clear signage makes orientation straightforward.
During the 2017 renovation, the main entrance was relocated to Hermina Street and a rose garden was added to the grounds. This redesign improved accessibility while keeping the original ceramic details intact.
