MUSEUM OF OUR MEMORIES
The museum is a collection of objects and each object carries its own story.
We also collect objects at home – objects that evoke memories of lived experiences and loved ones. The museum of our personal memories consists of these.
As part of the Community Week, we invited the volunteers of the Móra Ferenc Museum in Szeged to a game, and some of the museum’s colleagues also joined the campaign. We asked them to choose from their own MEMORY museum the object whose story they would like to share in the form of a short film, so we can get a little insight into each other’s MEMORY museum.

Museum Volunteer Program
In 2010, our museum launched a museum volunteer exhibition guide program (the first among rural museums in Hungary), which we repeated in 2011 and most recently in 2017. Our volunteers received training based on training for several weeks, where they acquired a wide range of knowledge about the museum, its operation, the methodology of exhibition management, and also comprehensively mastered the material and knowledge of the museum’s exhibitions.
The museum volunteers help the museum in several areas, one of which is the guided tours for groups. During permanent and temporary exhibitions, we organize training sessions, which are held by exhibition curators and museum specialists, subject matter experts. At the same time, regarding many other areas of museum activity – organizing events, visitor information; museum pedagogy, organization and communication, research work − they are also enthusiastically and actively involved in museum life.
We constantly try to maintain the community: we organize joint programs, club events, museum visits. We are currently in contact online through online clubs.
You can inquire about museum volunteering with the museum volunteer coordinator Mariann Ádász at the email address onkentes.mfm@gmail.com.
