The French Insti­tute in Budapest plays a signi­ficant role in the cultural life of the Hungarian capital. With the support of French companies and French-Hungarian joint ventures and the contri­bu­tion of the private and public sector, a high level of part­ner­ship has been estab­lished, promoting the real­isa­tion of large-scale artistic projects and the creation of a positive and dynamic image of France. This 1992 building was designed by archi­tect Georges Maurios, and the small square in front of the building features a sculp­ture by Hungarian-French sculptor Pierre Székely.
