THE ECHO OF AGRICULTURE IN THE MUSEUM: THE INSPIRATION AND LEGACY OF THE PEST AGRICULTURE MUSEUM

Summary/Abstract: In 1896, the foundations of the Pest Agricultural Museum were laid in Hungary, playing a significant role in the preservation and dissemination of agricultural heritage. The museum has showcased agricultural products and innovations, thereby promoting modern farming techniques and contributing to agricultural advancement. It has also fostered the flow of information and innovation, serving as a source of inspiration for the agricultural education and museology practices within the Ottoman Empire. Notably, the restructuring of the museum at the Halkalı Agriculture School, inspired by the Pest model, exemplifies this influence. The museum has offered methods for enhancing agricultural practices, aiding in the modernisation of agricultural practices across Ottoman lands. Furthermore, it has provided insights into agricultural marketing techniques and product management, thereby boosting the competitive edge of local producers and agricultural professionals. In this capacity, the museum has functioned not merely as a repository of information but also as a centre for capacity development. The Pest Agriculture Museum has facilitated the spread of agricultural knowledge and technology across a broad area. Studying the museum's history, contents, and legacy clarifies the roles of museology and agriculture in cultural and social development. In this context, the story of the Pest Agriculture Museum is recognised as a valuable contribution to the history of museology and agriculture.
