Hungarian Heritage House, as a cultural institution of national significance is responsible for the comprehensive preservation, development, and coordinated organization of Hungarian folk traditions covering the entire Carpathian Basin. It is a complex cultural strategic organization whose mission is to raise broad social awareness and accessibility of traditional cultural values, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to continually interpret the world around us through these values. Hungarian Heritage House is a multifaceted institution performing public cultural and collection-related duties, while also engaging in outstanding artistic and scientific activities. It is the only state-supported institution of living folk art with a network throughout the Carpathian Basin, and it is unique in Europe in both its complexity and scope of activities. This diversity ensures that folk traditions are not only preserved but also dynamically evolve and adapt to today’s social and cultural environment. At its headquarters, in Corvin Square, it organizes dance performances, concerts, children’s programs, trainings, masterclasses, conferences, public lectures, and exhibitions. The institution certifies handcrafted products, publishes books and educational materials, and provides professional consulting in all areas of folk heritage. Hungarian Heritage House comprises the world-renowned Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, which gives 140–180 performances annually, not only in Budapest but also with great success in rural and diaspora Hungarian communities around the world; the Museum of Hungarian Folk Applied Arts, operating with a renewed concept and housing nearly 11,000 items; the György Martin Reference Library; and the Folklore Archive, whose rich audiovisual collection includes over 6,400 hours of folk music and dance recordings now available in a public database. It is a priority institution for cultural strategy maintained by the Ministry of Culture and Innovation.
