Summary/Abstract: The Open Air Ethnographic Museum of Szentendre considers social responsibility as a very important task. In the course of educational lectures the goal is opinion formation, sensitization, transfer of useful, practical knowledge. In museum-pedagogical work, dedicated to the epoch of World War I, we evoke memories of the Kantash family in their former home, using original, old documents and props. Authentically furnitured interior of the museum, or Kantas's living room, will revive with the use of personal narratives – through which we can generate dialogue and interactivity. What could have been a division of family jobs 100 years ago? How did their lives change after their wounded father returned from the front? By asking such questions we will reconstruct the daily life of the family, while the students will provide answers to the questions, learn to accept handicapped people and view them as part of their own community.
