Museum of Hungarian Agriculture
 |
| Our first group activity was to the Museum of Hungarian Agriculture, this is me outside of the building. Two of the places inside that we got a personal tour of was the history of horses in agriculture, as well as the history of wine in Hungary. We learned about horses and how they helped farmers, but my favorite part was learning about the famous racehorse Kincsem. Kincsem in Hungarian means "My Treasure", and was the most successful race horse ever, with the winning record being 54 out of 54 races. We even saw the skeleton of Kincem. As for learning about the wine, I learned about how important it was to the country of Hungary, and I am also very excited to try Hungarian wine on this trip! |

I also thought the wine tour was very interesting. I enjoyed that they talked about how vines from America were used for a while because they had a stronger resistance to the pests that many other vines died from.
I also thought it was clever that they split the horse exhibit into the themes of warfare, transportation, and sports. It was interesting that the saddles changed depending on the use of the horse and the class of the owner (the lowest class had wooden saddles).
I thought it was interesting to see the equipment that was used to make wine in 1776 when America was barely an independent country. It show how countries “across the pond” can be in very different stages of growth
Yes, that was a very interesting tour especially when we needed a translator for majority of it. I enjoyed both aspects both horse and wine.
