The condition of the old house has deteriorated and has lost its function in recent years. The 130-year-old building is planned to be used as an exhibition space and cultural center by the Transportation Museum.

The technical assessment of the technical condition of the Kelenföld station building and the planning process for its reconstruction can start with one hundred million forints. Exhibits and programs are also planned in the building during construction of the Transportation Museum, which will be reborn in the area of ​​the former Northern Vehicle Repair Center, the museum said.

The redesign is carried out by the Architect’s Studio on behalf of the Transport Museum. The decision to renovate the station building and the amount of support were announced last October by Gergely Gulyás, the minister in charge of the Prime Minister’s Office.

“The new exhibition space and cultural center in the 130-year-old building will also help us to be able to appear in Budapest with smaller exhibitions in the years leading up to the completion of our new home in Kőbánya. We are working” – quote Dávid Vitézy, director General of the Transport Museum.

The old railway house in Kelenföld, which MÁV closed earlier, has lost its original railway functions in recent years, and since the delivery of Metro 4, ticketing and other railway services have gradually moved to the underpass. The museum’s plan is to create cultural and community functions in the closed building, as well as a railway exhibition space that gives the former station a worthy function with thematic programs, exhibitions, field tables and the museum’s world-famous railway models.

According to the announcement, the building’s condition has deteriorated dramatically, and technical status surveys will reveal how much can be saved and when.
