exhibition halls and galleries
The major difference between an exhibition hall and a museum is that exhibition halls do not have permanent collections on display; rather, they give home to temporary or traveling exhibitions.
There are quite a few dedicated exhibition halls in Budapest with no collection of their own. Some museums from time to time also give home to temporary or traveling collections. Major European museums of fine art have recently started exhibiting thematic collections at the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest - the big bang of 2007 was the Van Gogh exhibition.
The number of contemporary art galleries has surged since the year 1990, although few art collectors spend bigger amounts of money on contemporary art in Hungary.
