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 Slovene 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.
In 2016 the institute was reorganised, and the Cultural Centre was united with the Library under the Library - Cultural Centre Lendava-Lendva Institute / Lendvai Könyvtár és Kulturális Központ.
