I have created a publication for my thesis that showcases the rural museums and collections found in Hungary. One of my key considerations was to feature only domestic venues, regardless of their theme, located outside the capital city of Budapest and its surroundings, in rural areas, county seats, and other settlements. The aim was to present collections and exhibitions that are not only unique in themselves but also considered rarities or curiosities in Hungarian culture and tourism.
My publication features a list of 24 Hungarian museums and/or collections, which was preceded by one month of research. The museums included are as follows:
Atomenergetikai Múzeum, Paks
Bakamúzeum, Szekszárd
Boltmúzeum, Békéscsaba
Bozsó Gyűjtemény - Hanga Óragyűjtemény, Kecskemét

It was important for me to use a contemporary approach in presenting the museums and collections that would capture the attention of young people. Therefore, I created illustrations for the publication by hand in digital format, completely omitting the use of black color. Instead of simply replicating familiar images, I introduced the readers to the world of MOOZEUM through the eyes of two fictional characters, offering a unique perspective.
I created both offline and online products for MOOZEUM, including postcards, t-shirts, stickers, canvas bags, a map, and an online store. Additionally, I designed and set up an exhibition space and installation within the local Kepes Institute in Eger, where visitors can view my work.
