THE ARTPOOL ARCHIVES, Budapest

The unique collection of sources available to the public at Artpool Art Research
Center covers 300 meters of shelving.

The archive and library house primarily documents relating to the Hungarian
avant-garde art movements of the `70s and `80s, as well as sources on the new
international art trends of the past 30 years.

Artpool is the only place in Hungary today to offer such a wealth of sources on
this period and these genres.


How to use the archive

The Artpool Art Research Center is open to the public from 2 to 6 p.m. on
Wednesdays and Fridays.

Books, exhibition catalogs and art documents are readily available during these
hours; video and sound documents can be studied as well. Research is aided by a
catalogue and a computer- based register which is continuously enlarged and
updated.



Certain documents are available only with the permission of the owner. In the
case of significant research projects, arrangements can be made for the ongoing
use of all research facilities.

Information about Artpool's programs (lectures and art events) is published
regularly in the press, as well as being sent to those on Artpool's mailing
list.

Admittance to all exhibitions and lectures held at Artpool, to the archives and
the library is free of charge and open to the public.
