Burman Foundation is an independent, Hungary-based initiative established to manage, preserve and exhibit an extensive collection of 18th century and 19th century art . The foundation’s guiding principle is to contribute to the intellectual development of the art scene in the Europe region by building a prominent, publicly accessible art collection in the Budapest and London. Part of this objective involves developing a public platform to foster critical dialogue around contemporary art practices with a focus on artists with internationally.

The foundation strives to create an open-ended enquiry that responds to and conveys the nuances inherent to world histories beyond borders of culture and geography. By hosting in-house exhibitions, lending artwork to international forums, producing print and online publications, and fashioning interactive public programmes, the foundation strives to serve as an informative resource for contemporary art by artists both locally and on the global stage. In addition to building an informative database of artists, the foundation is seeking to develop an educational programme that both understands and involves the local community. By establishing partnerships with arts and cultural institutions internationally, the foundation looks to create opportunities to encourage public awareness of the importance of art to the community.
