Yesterday was Night of the Museums in Hungary. All museums open all night with many different events and programs. It's one of my favorite things.
I was at the ELTE Museum of Natural Sciences first, in the Mineral Collection. I told folktales and legends related to Corundum (mineral of the year 2024). First to kids, then adults.
Then I was at the Polaris Observatory telling legends about the Northern Lights.
Full house each time, and great fun

@TarkabarkaHolgy This sounds so amazing. What a fantastic idea!
@TarkabarkaHolgy Corundum as mineral of the year. Top choice. So many stories!
@TarkabarkaHolgy this is wildly interesting. Can you share some of the folktales and legends related to corundum here?
@TarkabarkaHolgy
That sounds amazing!
@TarkabarkaHolgy oh, wow. Is it an annual event?
@taxonick yes, midsummer every year
@TarkabarkaHolgy super - thanks
