Subject: ANN: Petition for an Independent Hungarian National Gallery
Protest against the Merger of the Hungarian National Gallery with the
Museum of Fine Arts
On 29 February 2012 the Hungarian National Gallery will cease to exist
as an independent institution. Something unprecedented will happen:
without plausible or acceptable explanation, with unreasonable and
incredible haste, and within four months, the independence of a
55-year-old internationally acknowledged institution, one of Hungary’s
leading museums, will be eliminated. By being merged into the Museum
of
Fine Arts, which is about the same size and has an international field
of interest, the Hungarian National Gallery – the main institution
entrusted with the collection and maintenance of Hungarian works of
art
– will lose its institutional and curatorial independence. The
justification given for this hasty merger gives rise to the fear that
in the future there will be no venue to present Hungarian art in all
its richness and complexity from the earliest times to the present
day,
to the loss of the visitors interested in this field of culture. The
unwelcome transfer of the more than 130,000 works of art connected
with
the ill-conceived merger will be an incalculable burden to the central
budget and will expose these invaluable treasures of Hungarian
cultural
heritage to grave risks.
It is not too late to stand up against it.
