Our Visiting Traditions

 

By the collaboration of the Muharay Elemér Folk Art Association we held our annual event entitled Our Visiting Traditions on 9 June 2018. Our guests were 18 country house museums and 15 dance ensembles at the event, who enriched the day with quality programmes and stage shows. Like last year, the world revolved around apples also this year, with participants making toys, food, providing recipes and many more interesting things. We also announced an apple food competition, the outcome of which was decided by the votes of the visitors. The work of the Algyő Country House Museum clearly excelled in this case, as it far exceeded expectations by nearly a hundred votes.

Naturally, the employees of the Central Directorate of Hungarian Country House Museums also prepared a professional programme, within the framework of which the jubilee country houses were commemorated, and the participants who completed the open-air museology and country house museum training course were handed over the diplomas of appreciation. After all this, through the discussions and lectures of the Kubinyi Round Table, those interested could get acquainted with the country house renovations carried out within the Kubinyi Ágoston Programme. It was not a secret that by this session we wanted to encourage participants to apply for the tender next year.

Fortunately, the morning rain did not discourage anyone, and the persistent work of the participants also brought good weather in the afternoon.

 

See you again next year!
