The possibilities of the interpretation of the personal life and the professional career of Ferenc Móra in non-formal learning outside public education (original) (raw)

Carei/Nagykároly is a municipality, the former seat of the historical Szatmár/Satu Mare County located in the north-western part of Romania, in the western part of today`s county, on the Carei Plain, about 8 km from the Romanian-Hungarian border. The first attempts to create a museum collection in Carei were made in the 19th century. It dates to the end of the 20th century when enthusiastic teachers and students put together different collections for the school at the local Piarist Gymnasium. At the end of the 19th century, the establishment of the Ecsedi Wetland Museum in Carei, the county seat, was planned, several articles were published in local newspapers, but it did not materialize. In 1903, voted for a cultural foundation whose main purpose was the establishment and operation of the County Museum. After World War I, this modest, but still important museum activity was interrupted, and we know from this time that the County Museum`s collection was enlarged. After that, we are not aware of any museum activity in Carei. There may have been smaller collections in secondary schools, but we do not have accurate data on them. After World War II, in the early 1950s, some enthusiastic teachers and students from Carei started archaeological, ethnographical and geographical collections to establish a museum in the near future. The collections then formed the basis of the museum, which officially opened on July 10, 1958, and was then called the Carei District Museum.
