The 2400 square meter multipurpose venue Lendava-Lendva Cultural Centre was designed by Hungarian architect Imre Makovecz according to his principles of organic architecture

Established in 1995 as a major new cross-border collaborative building project, the Lendava-Lendva Institute for Culture and Promotion (Zavod za kulturo in promocijo Lendava, or Muvelovesi es Promocios Intezet Lendva in Hungarian) opened in 2004 in an impressive 2,400 square-metre building conceived by architect Imre Makovecz. Funded by the Ministry of Culture, Municipality of Lendava-Lendva, the Hungarian government, and the Hungarian National Self-Governing Community of Pomurje Region Lendava-Lendva, the Lendava-Lendva Institute was conceived as a multipurpose space for concerts, drama, opera and conferences. The Institute also runs the programme at the recently renovated Lendava Synagogue.

Venue and programme

Lendava-Lendva Institute for Culture and Promotion has a 1,400 square-metre (45m x 33m) theatre/concert hall with 444 seats, plus various other spaces. It organises annual music and theatre subscription series involving both Slovene and Hungarian artists and also hosts frequent performances by Slovene theatre houses (Slovene National Theatre Drama Ljubljana, Slovene National Theatre Nova Gorica, Slovene People’s Theatre (SLG) Celje, Mladinsko Theatre, Ljubljana City Theatre (MGL)), as well as their counterparts in Hungary. During the summer the venue serves as an open air cinema showing the recent cinema hits.

A puppetry festival is held every Friday during the summer months. Besides the performing arts the venue also hosts the summer school of animated film for youngsters and regular exhibitions of visual arts, including annual presentations of works from the Lendava-Lendva International Artists Colony.
