As of January 2008, Lumen Gallery, Lumen Photography Foundation’s independent photo gallery, operates at a proprietary location on Mikszáth Kálmán tér. The exhibitions alternate in one-month turns, and for the most part present the works of young artists and groups of artists who find it hard to get a chance for organising individual exhibitions. The gallery particularly supports works ready for dialogue, adapting and responding to the context. In accordance with this, we invite young artists who react sensitively to the social aspects of art, and this is reflected by their creative strategies.
One of the major goals of the Foundation is to popularise international trends in Hungary and to establish the widest possible collaboration with numerous Hungarian and European fellow-organisations.
The gallery is not only open before the professional public. The location provides an opportunity for involving a wider public as well. The gallery endeavours to create a forum for the most interesting
works in photography and video art, also reaching people who are not frequent museum-visitors. The special character of the gallery is derives from its location: it does not force the spectator into the position of the museum-visitor in its classical sense, but allows for the contemplation of the works of art in an informal atmosphere, in a space organically rooted in its surroundings.

Address: Hungary, 1088 Budapest, Mikszáth Kálmán tér 2, Opening hours: Mo-Fri 8:30-19, Sat 10-18
