Moreover, cooperating with local museums can greatly contribute to regional learning in high schools. Budapest boasts a wide array of museums, each encapsulating a unique aspect of the city‘s history and culture.

Students can visit this museum as part of their history classes, engaging in hands-on learning experiences that complement their classroom studies.

Collaborating with museums allows high school students to experience learning beyond textbooks, making their education more immersive and memorable. A possible cooperation between high schools and museums can take various forms, such as organizing guided tours, hosting educational workshops, or even facilitating student exhibitions within museum premises.

This type of collaboration not only deepens students‘ understanding of the subject matter but also fosters their critical thinking, research skills, and creativity.
