Since closing its doors last summer for an indefinite period of time, the Dorottya Gallery has had a questionable future. While that future still remains in the balance, for the time being the gallery will be holding exhibitions, and this, the first in a series, will explore the Dorottya and its place in history. It's been around for about half a decade, which would mean it would be a shot to the heart of Budapest's art scene if it indeed does go the way of the dinosaurs. Official info here.

From time to time Budapest's Ludwig Museum digs into its collection to reveal what lies within the meat and bones of the institution. Sure LUMU may not be able to compete on a level of notoriety with other internationally recognized museums, but its got its niche. With a particular handle on the 60s and 80s, and a stronghold in Central and Eastern European contemporary art, LUMU serves up what's been lurking in the depths of their permanent collection.
