... MOME’s name change

On March 1st 2006, the university changed its former name “Hungarian University of Arts and Design” to Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME).

MOME refers to László Moholy-Nagy, an internationally celebrated artist whose personal and professional credo embraces all the areas we teach and value – ranging from object design through architecture to visual communication.

This name change reflects our sensitive approach towards the cultural challenges of the 21st century. It implies that we have recognized and acknowledged the fact that in our ever-changing world it is not enough to merely preserve tradition and that flexibility requires constant inner change and adaptation.
