Changes in the architecture, interior furnishing and lifestyle of villages in the 20th century. The group of 20th-century buildings of the Hungarian Open Air Museum

Summary/Abstract: Because the creation of a skanzen can never be finished, the Hungarian Open Air Museum elaborated new strategies to expand the museum’s research and widen the time, social and geographical horizons of its exhibitions. This led to the idea of the group of 20th-century buildings. What makes the research programme of the Hungarian Open Air Museum novel by international standards is that it wishes to present not individual examples but the most important, emblematic buildings of a period in the form of a group of buildings with the related interior furnishing, changes in lifestyle, way of life and lifeworld models in a “regional unit”.
