On Monday evening, October 27th, students and their teachers from the Cleveland Hungarian School came to the Museum for an hour of learning activities. Three “retired” educators, who are also members of our Board (Eva, Marian and Andy), worked on various activities with the students. The students went from working with a floor map of Hungary, then to identifying and listening to Hungarian folk instruments, and as a third activity, reading about Sándor Kőrösi Csoma, a famous Hungarian explorer and linguist. This last activity was meaningful insofar as the Cleveland Hungarian School has a “Kőrösi Csoma Sándor Fellow” from Hungary working with the students. The older students spent time among the books and newspapers in our Library, “hunting” for answers on various topics. The evening’s treat was homemade chili cooked by our Museum president, János Szigeti. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to not only learn but also to view objects in our exhibits like a Guba (shepherd’s shearling cloak) or the replica of St. Stephen’s Crown and even objects dating to the 1848 Hungarian Revolution. We hope the students of the Hungarian School will come back next year!! Szeretettel várunk!!
