“Inventions at the Bank Center”
Virtual and real exhibition

January 31 – February 13,

Director:
András Vedres ( Association of Hungarian Inventors)

About the scene:
Bank Center has a deserved reputation as the most prestigious modern office building in Central Europe. Located in the heart of Budapest, it was designed by Hungarian architect József Finta, who remarked on its completion that it was the only building for which he had been given the freedom – and the budget – to acquire the exact quality of materials he wanted.

The owners of Bank Center, together with its dedicated Management Team, are committed to maintaining the high standards set by Finta. In going so, they will ensure its continued value to the international companies and diplomatic organisation that reside in its offices and its standing as a building of which Budapest is justly proud.

With the help of installation – which is in fact also a Hungarian invention – 70 Hungarian inventions we are going to display.
During the exhibition computers will offer the possibility to reach GENIUS 2001 International Internet Inventions Exhibition with 189 Hungarian and 140 inventions from 56 countries. Parallel to this a picture-gallery can also be visited at the same time.
