BIG . Vikár és Lukács . Építész Stúdió
BIG has been selected to design the home of the new Hungarian Natural History Museum in Hungary’s second-largest city, Debrecen. The 23,000 m² museum will be situated on the site of a former stadium in the southern part of the city, bordering the historic Great Forest, Nagyerdő.
The new Hungarian Natural History Museum is designed in collaboration with Vikár és Lukács Építész Stúdió, proposing a series of curving ribbons to create a new public and scientific destination in Hungary’s eastern region. The museum forms part of the government’s plan to transform Debrecen into a key regional hub by 2030, replacing the current museum located in Budapest. Commissioned by the Museum and the Ministry of Culture and Innovation, the structure will house permanent and temporary exhibition halls, educational and research facilities, public amenities and back-of-house spaces.
