In this issue, Horányi Attila and Schneider Ákos explore the theoretical foundations of design culture studies, while Ernyey Gyula examines the development of the field from a historical perspective.
Practical approaches are presented by Róka Enikő through the exhibition-making concepts of the Budapest History Museum's Municipal Gallery, Kuti Klára through the role of everyday objects in museum collections, and Földi Eszter and Zwickl András through MOME's Design Curating programme.
Fascinating applications of design culture methodologies are explored by Sógor Abigél through old alphabet books, Tomka Róza through the iconic polka-dot ball, and Novák Piroska and Viski Noémi through the example of a milk jug.
Further articles include Lépold Zsanett's analysis of the rise of Op Art in the 1960s, Berényi Marianna's overview of museum publications recognised by the Hungarian Book Design Award, and Ádi Brigitta's retrospective on the 1985 Heritage exhibition, which showcased forty years of material culture.
Martincsák Kata interviews visual artist Gerhes Gábor, with particular attention to his museum-related works, while Basics Beatrix examines Andrássy Tivadar's contributions to the development of Hungarian applied arts.
The news section was compiled by Magyar Katalin. The issue was edited by Gréczi Emőke, with Karácsony Ágnes as copy editor, Szendrői Árpád responsible for proofreading, and Pintér József credited with the publication's design.
