The Parliament has adopted a bill with 330 votes, without abstention and counter-votes guaranteeing special protection for the cultural property borrowed from abroad for exhibitions in Hungary. The law provides a kind of „diplomatic immunity” for the duration of the show, so that these objects cannot be seized during the temporary exhibition.

The introduction of the new legal institution helping organise temporary exhibitions presenting outstanding cultural assets was necessary so that these goods could become more accessible for the public than at present.
