Abstract

This paper is about the research, representation and interpretation methods of the Hungarian Open Air Museum regarding food heritage. The museum applies several methods to mediate authentic information for a wide audience in an enjoyable way. Thus, food is part of reconstructed interiors in the museum houses, of thematic indoor exhibitions in the museum gallery spaces, of museum education programmes offered for different age groups, as well as being part of wellbeing and reintegration events, workshops of different kinds, and of publications and festivals. It can also be the central topic of our so-called ‘active venues’, which offer interactive experience in the museum buildings.
