In DF&A’s design for a Museum of Ethnography in Budapest, a series of ramps leads from the street into the park behind the museum, where public spaces integrate the museum into daily life. Inside, DF&A designed a visible storage tower called a Cabinet of Curiosities, a heightened version of the cabinets in our homes that are stuffed with treasures. The Cabinet allows museum visitors to appreciate artifacts in an uncurated state, as a beloved jumble. From the outside, the Cabinet visibly extends beyond the street-side facade, both a symbol of critical inquiry and an object of curiosity itself.
