The new exhibition will focus on local farming activities, such as the growing of peppers to make paprika, and small industry, including the city's renown for slippers and knives, as well as folk traditions and architecture. It will be a multimedia exhibition with sound effects, film and interactive computer terminals.
The exhibition will have its own website where visitors may comment on what they have experienced.
The more than HUF 40 million cost of the exhibition was covered entirely by grant money. The cost of building backgrounds and other constructions was paid for with monies from the Ministry of Education and Culture's ALFA programme. The multimedia equipment was purchased with a grant from the National Development Agency aimed at making museum's more school-friendly.
The old permanent exhibition, Folk Art of Csongrád County, which opened in 1991, can be seen until February 28.
