62 MusLi - No qualifications needed: museums and new audiences case 03 Description The “Teahouse of Nationalities” project was run by the Foundation for Museums and Visitors, in cooperation with the Hungarian Museum of Trade and Tourism. The Foundation for Museums and Visitors is a public benefit organisation that supports Hungarian museums in developing their services and relations with their visitors as well as promoting museum education as a form of lifelong learning for visitors. The Hungarian Museum of Trade and Tourism belongs to the Ministry of Education and Culture, and is situated in the City of Budapest. The aims of the project were: to initiate a unique cooperation with the different minority nationalities who are long term residents in Budapest and who have affected, facilitated or changed the culture and institutions of the trade and gastronomy of the city to show these people Museum collections related to their own culture to get more information about the culture (objects, traditions and ceremonies) of these minority nationalities to introduce to a wider audience the culture of these minority nationalities with the help of dance shows, screenings, food tasting and conversations to strengthen the existing ‘Museum Friends Club’ to enlarge the visitor base of the Hungarian Museum of Trade and Tourism to reveal that museums can both entertain and be used as a community meeting point. The project started in 2009 and finished in 2010. The programme series has involved six different nationalities (German – Kraut, Jewish, Serbian, Armenian, Slovakian and Bulgarian) their clubs, circles, organizations and schools. The visitors have encountered their culture through stories of old towns, society, community, ceremonies, through dances from minority cultures, poems, films and tastings of typical foods. These evenings were free of charge and took place in the Museum’s Theatre Room. Participation There were two groups of visitors. One consisted of members of the minority nationality and the other was the audience invited for the cultural event. Members of the minority nationalities were around 120 people. The majority of them can be classified as visitors with a low educational level. The programme has attracted around 40-60 visitors per event (in all 320). Some visitors reacted as frequenters. In most of the cases we personally interviewed the participants, but on the last two occasions questionnaires were filled out. Ages of the visitors’: 19-29 3% 50-59 10% 30-39 12% 60-69 37% 40-49 9% 70 and more 19%

It was very important for them to show how their culture has contributed to, changed or formed certain areas of Hungarian culture. We invited them without any preconditions, which made them very happy to create their own “show” in the way they wanted. Their self-esteem was increased by the invitation to the museum. They were given confidence in their own importance. The audience gained more information about the Museum itself, including the knowledge that a museum can be a place for entertainment and recreation. They were assured about the importance of their presence; in addition they could ask or make comments and remarks. The programme helped them to bring up old memories and to find partners to have conversations with. 63
