The government-owned Hungarian Fashion and Design Agency organizes the Budapest Design Week every October, which includes over a hundred events throughout the country. These include 360 Design Budapest, which has become a major regional design exhibition in Central and Eastern Europe.
In Budapest, two nonprofit centres run rich programmes and have important impact on contemporary architecture: one is KÉK – Contemporary Architecture Centre, the other FUGA – Budapest Centre of Architecture.
The Hungarian Museum of Architecture was established in 1968, and the scope of its collection encompasses materials related to architecture and architectural history. It has no permanent building and currently exists in combination with the Monument Protection Documentation Centre, and is maintained by MMA, the Hungarian Academy of Arts.
