STORY/ LUDWIG MUSEUM, THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART COLLECTS AND DISPLAYS MASTERWORKS OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART. THE PERMANENT COLLECTION CONTAINS VALUABLE PIECES OF AMERICAN POP ART (ANDY WARHOL, CLAES OLDEN- BURG, ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG ETC.). YET FOCUSING ON EASTERN AND CENTRAL EUROPEAN ART, IT ALSO PUTS A SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON PRESENTING THE HUNGARIAN ART OF THE 60'S TO RECENT DAYS IN AN INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT. BESIDES, TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS SHOWCASE LEADING ARTISTS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SCENE AS WELL AS THE BEST-KNOWN HUNGARIAN MASTERS. IN 2012, THE CURRENT MUSEUM DIRECTOR MR BARNABÁS BENCSIK HAVE DECIDED TO OPEN A SMALLER VERISON OF THE MUSEUM IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HE CHOOSE THE CITY OF SAVANNAH, GEORGIA AS A HOME FOR THE NEW MUSEUM WHICH WILL ONLY CONTAIN SOME OF THE POP-ART COLLECTION.
