Visiting the Néprajzi museum

I think it was a really good idea to visit the museum and check the two exhibitions there.
My part was to check the permanent ex. and write down what I like , what I don't like, etc.
Well the exhibition was very useful as a bad example for setting up or keeping updated an exhib. We could phisically feel the dust of the exhibited objects...:D the labels were in a discusting condition ( coming off, torn, etc. ) , and I think I don't have to mention the grammar mistakes in the english labels - BUT at least there were english labels not like at the other "new" exhib. which was titeled 'the others' .
I liked 'the others ' very much, but I found the labels annoying as there were only numbers in front of the objects and the description was glued to the side of the vitrine. And as I said already there were no english labels at all. And the exhibition wasn't about 'the others' , only about showing diff. cultures...hmm, I think they couldn't achieve the concept what they wanted to do originally. But othervise it was really creative and interesting !
So it was a great lesson , I enjoyed it a lot, and learned lots of things !
