I attended both Dr. Zsuzsa Koltai’s lectures. It was really interesting to

listen about new innovations in museums and how they try to attract everyone

with many projects.

What I was surprised with was dementia programs for older people. It is very

interesting that museums try to help people with this kind of disease. Also

amazing was innovation where we can feel the museum with all our senses like

smelling, tasting etc. Also I noticed that technology has a big importance in

museums. Many apps and multimedia guides were invented.

In the second lecture I found the most interesting what functions were before

18th century. The representation of power or protection against evil were

fascinating. It is interesting to see what people thought about art or

artifacts.

I think that interpretation was used in those lectures. For example

downloadable apps, guides or digital story tellings in many languages are some

kind of an interpretation. Also for example showing local traditions or

folklore are interpretation of local city or country.

This were my thoughts about lectures and if interpretation was there.
