week 10

Museum of applied arts

the current permanent exhibition creates an atmosphere of boredom, because of a lot of problems with making the concept work

good idea to put computer games based on the information related to exhibition, we spent almost the same amount of time doing it as looking at the exhibition, but all the games are in hungarian only, they are simple, but it is doubtful that eg a 6-10 years old kid can figure out what to do if he doesnt speak hungarian

also, the labels lacked information, which is crutial (technique, materials); several stands were organised in a way that small pieces (jewelry) were on the back, so people needed to look really close and even touched the glass with their faces

I would suggest that organisers put some music on the background, make the exhibition area more lively, and maybe re arrange the pieces
