The György Ráth Villa of the Museum of Applied Arts, Budapest received a Special Award
for Museum Education from the National Association of Public Collections with the
programme entitled “Thousand shades of Art Nouveau,” the staff members of which are
Julianna Joó, Dóra Borsai, Melinda Péterfy, and Kata Hadházi. For the first time, the Museum
Education Department of the Museum of Applied Arts, Budapest produced an animated short
film for the museum education programme of the permanent exhibition “Our Art Nouveau in
the György Ráth Villa.” The aim of the animated short film, also entitled “A Thousand Faces
of Art Nouveau,” was to use digital technology to stimulate interest in Art Nouveau – from a
child's perspective, in the form of an inner dialogue. Focusing on the artworks in the
exhibition, the stop-motion short film explores the characteristics of turn-of-the-century art
and was shown to schoolchildren at the beginning of their museum education sessions on the
Art Nouveau period.
