L Szabó Tünde STUDY PLAN FOR THE VILLAGE MUSEUM IN SZENNA „The monuments of vernacular architecture in Somogy county are increasingly subjects to decay. The houses are scattered in several villages of the county, there are generally I -2 valuable buildings in a village. But in most of the villages no such buildings are traceable any more. The preservation of the existing objects of vernacular architecture in situ is not possible. The owners want to build new houses and the local authorities don't have the necessary financial means for renovation and for permanent maintenance of the architectural monuments. An area of 2 holds and 1191 fathoms has been suggested for the creation of the village museum. Here stands the reformed church, which is unique in the county due to its painted and carved interior decoration and its coffered ceiling. The former rectory in front of the church could be used as reception building.” The first plan for establishing the open air museum in Szenna was written in 1972. The planning and the research into the vernacular architecture were carried out by the colleagues of Somogyterv (Planning office of the county council of Somogy) under the guidance of Tünde L. SZABÓ. The ethnographic specialist was Judit KNÉZY They have outlined the possibility of a regional open air museum in Szenna, 9 km from Kaposvár in Somogy county. They relied on the lecture of László VARGHA who developed the idea of the open air museums of Szombathely and Zalaegerszeg, of the monument complex in Balassagyarmat as well as of the Hungarian Open Air Museum in Szentendre. The regions of Central-Somogy and Zselic were defined as main collection area for the museum. The new publication of the study plan is of significant importance also for its science historic and institution historic aspects. The knowledge about the selection method, the preparation of ethnographic and architectural fundaments and their integration into the plan documentation as well as the technical and professional analysis of the already surveyed buildings show perfectly which are the ethnographic museological priorities further to the methodology and the objectives of the studies. 246
