Palace of Arts (Hungary)

A fusion of music and world-class architecture

The Palace of Arts (Művészetek Palotája) is a cultural hub where classical, traditional, and world music meet dance and arts. Its world-class technical features make it an outstanding work of Hungarian and international architecture.

The Palace of Arts won the FIABCI Prix d’Excellence in 2006 – often referred to as "the Oscars of architecture and real estate development" – in the "specialised" category for buildings.

The Palace of Arts is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality, and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The structure and outside appearance of the building are determined by its inner functions. The Palace of Arts covers a ground area of 10,000 m² and the total floor space of the building is 70,000 m².
