Sažetak

The aim of the exhibition and fair was to present and promote the modern methods of child-care and upbringing of the time. The exhibition dealt with the problems of children under six, because that age suffered mostly from child mortality. The ethnographic material - babies' things, national costumes of five years boys and girls from several regions and nationalities in and outside Hungary, cradles and -toys -were exhibited in an extra section. The significant part of this material was collected following the instructions of János Xántus, founder and the first director of the Ethnographic Department of the National Museum (later Museum of Ethnography) in Budapest. After the exhibition was closed, Xántus bought some costumes from other exhibitors as well. This way, he enriched the Museum collection with 31 complete children costumes from Hungary.
