The purpose of this Learning Exchange was to discover more about the Hungarian museum landscape, with examples of successful programmes engaging in social responsibility in Hungary. The host and organiser Zsolt Sari, Deputy Director General of the Hungarian Open Air Museum (Skanzen), was joined by colleagues from the Ludwig Museum, the Petofi Literary Museum, and the Herman Otto Museum. The programme promised a very successful combination of talks, workshops and museum visits over 2 days; it was facilitated by Meghan Corse of NEMO, with practical information for the six invited international museum professionals who attended: the Open Air Museum of Estonia/Estonian Museum Association (EE), the National Liberation Museum in Maribor (SI), the Open Air Museum of Lithuania (LT), the House of Leaves Museum in Tirana (AL), the Regional Museum of Skåne (S), the National Gallery in Dublin (IRL) and myself, representing EXARC.
