Founded in 1976 by second-generation Hungarian American intellectuals and professionals and referred to until 1984 as the Committee for Human Rights in Romania (CHRR), HHRF undertook advocacy on behalf of Hungarian minorities living in Central and Eastern Europe. It did so not by calling for the restoration of pre-World War I borders, but rather by making reference to violations of the basic human rights of members of these communities, rights the protection of which was officially granted at the national and international levels. Until the second half of the 1980s, HHRF mostly represented the interests of Hungarians living in Romania in interactions with the United States Congress and the U.S. State Department, as well as with several international organizations charged with monitoring human and minority rights. After 1984, HHRF expanded its range of activity to Slovakia, and it later expanded to Serbia, Ukraine, and Austria. The most remarkable result attained through the advocacy of HHRF was the suspension in 1987 by the U.S. Congress of the status of Most Favored Nation, previously granted to Romania despite the country’s poor record on human rights. During the last phase of the Cold War, HHRF managed to establish fruitful cooperation on the issue of human rights with both the Western-oriented liberal Hungarian democratic opposition and conservative-minded populist intellectuals who blamed the Kádár regime for its failure to protest against the anti-Hungarian policies of the Romanian communist regime. The American-Hungarian diaspora and the various opposition groups in Hungary worked together to support the Hungarian minorities living in the neighboring states after the 1989 regime change as well.

Hungarian Institute of Culture

The Hungarian Institute of Culture was established on 1 January 1992 by an edict of The Ministry of Education.
The aim of the Hungarian Institute of Culture was to promote cultural work and new cultural initiatives. It also supported the folk-art tradition and the spread of interest in the fates of Hungarian nationalities living beyond the borders in the neighboring countries. The purpose of the institution was to examine the social effects of cultural values and to educate specialists. The other task of the institution was to ensure the authenticity of the folk creations, to look after the folk-art collections, and to provide opinions on folk art creations. The location of the institution was in the building of the so-called Budai Vigadó (8 Corvin tér, Budapest).

Hungarian Motion Picture Public Foundation

The Hungarian Motion Picture Public Foundation was responsible for the distribution of the financial means dedicated in the national budget to supporting the film industry. It was established in 1998 by the government and 26 professional film organisations to succeed the Hungarian Motion Picture Foundation.

Its basic goals were to support the production, distribution and preservation of Hungarian films in every genre, to promote the distribution of Hungarian films abroad and foreign films in Hungary, and to represent the Hungarian film industry. Its tasks included the support of any kind of film production with Hungarian origin. The public foundation itself was responsible for working out the rules for the distribution of resources.

Beside the board of trustees, six vocational colleges fell under the jurisdiction of the Hungarian Motion Picture Public Foundation: feature film, animation, documentary, film distribution, scientific-propagatory, and a Research, Training, Experimental, Book and Periodical-Publishing Vocational College.

The Board of Trustees was nominated by the founders and appointed by the Minister of Culture with the consent of the government.

2006–2010: Ferenc Grunwalsky chair, members: Dr. László Baán, Dr. András Benedek, Dr. Péter Ákos Bod, Dr. Vilmos Csányi, László Donáth and György Simó.

2010–2014: Zoltán Kőrösi chair, members: Dr. László Baán, Veronika Bakonyi, Attila Bognár, György Durst, János Foktői, Dr. Árpád Kovács.

In 2012 the government decided to cease the operations of the Hungarian Motion Picture Public Foundation.

Hungarian National Gallery

The Hungarian National Gallery (MNG) is the largest public collection documenting and presenting the changes and developments in the fine arts in Hungary. Its collections cover the entire history of art in Hungary, from the 11th century to the present. Its establishment fits a process specific to Hungarian museology, in the course of which from 1870 specialized museums were detached from the Hungarian National Museum, founded in 1802.

In is through this decentralization process that collections of fine art objects made it into the Museum of Fine Arts. The acquisition of works made the division the Hungarian and the international materials urgent. As a result, the New Hungarian Gallery of the Museum of Fine Arts displays its holdings starting from the Nagybánya group in a separate building, but within the framework of the same institution.

The collection of the Municipal Gallery was taken over by the state in 1953, which meant its merging with the Museum of Fine Arts. The optimal presentation of the expanding Hungarian materials became less feasible. The idea of an entirely separate art museum featuring Hungarian art came up in cultural politics after 1956, which led to the birth of the Hungarian National Gallery (MNG) in 1957. The basis of its collections were the Hungarian materials from the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest. The MNG operated first in the Curia building at Kossuth Square in 1957.

The next turning point of the history of the museum was when it moved to the renovated B, C, and D buildings of the Buda Castle. The first exhibition opened there in 1975. That was also the time of the founding the predecessor of the Contemporary Collection, under the name Modern Hungarian Department. In 2005 the A building also joined MNG, where large scale temporary exhibitions take place. In 2012 the MNG reintegrated into the institutional framework of the Museum of Fine Arts. Its collections amount to 110,000 artworks today.

Hungarian Province of the Society of Jesus

The Society of Jesus settled in Hungary in 1561, and despite the hardships the order developed dynamically in all three parts of the divided country. The golden age of the order ended in 1773, when under political pressure from the European great powers, Pope Clement XIV disbanded the order. The Society of Jesus was restored in Hungary in 1853. In 1866, they settled in Budapest. In 1909, the independent province of the Hungarian Jesuits was founded. In 1950, the communist regime suppressed the activities of the Jesuits and many members of the order were imprisoned and interned, while many others emigrated. In Hungary the order was granted permission to function again in 1989.
