Rövid tartalmi összefoglaló angol nyelven
The museums maintain a relationship with the youngest sister-institution in Europe, the Slovak Postal Museum. The foundation organised 10 gatherings for the members of the Museum Assent Association, each with 70-100 participants. They include the annual Museum and Telecom May Days, Midsummer’s Day Fire Jumping, and Advent concerts. The Postal Museum joined in the events of Museum Night and the programmes organised by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage. There were two particularly outstanding events in the Foundation’s public relations. News that the Postal Museum’s building had been sold increased the activeness of the civic organisations organised around the museum, which protested the possible eviction of the museum.

The diverse activity of the foundation and the commemoration of our history were recognised despite the problem of unfair property loss.
