Overview

The Museum of the Hungarian Village at Szentendre provides a guided tour of the Open Air Ethnographic Museum of Szentendre, the English edition of Szabadtéri Néprajzi Múzeum Szentendrén. This book offers a comprehensive historical background on the emergence of open air museums in the late 19th century, a time when European world exhibitions began to highlight the deep connection between folklore and national culture. The text explains how the idea of presenting authentic living collections, arranged like a park, first took shape in Stockholm in 1891, and how these concepts influenced the development of the museum in Szentendre.
