Ferenc Móra

• Illustration — Ferenc Móra statue at the Szeged Pantheon Ferenc Móra was born in Kiskunfélegyháza into a financially poor family. His father, Márton Móra, was a tailor, and his mother, Anna Juhász, was a baker. He acquired his formal education under the most extreme hardships because of the financial poverty of his family. At the Budapest University, he earned a degree in Geography and History education but worked as a teacher only for one year at Felsőlövő, Vas County. He was a prominent figure of youth literature in Hungary. His parallel career in museology started in 1904 at the combined library and museum of Szeged, serving the county capital of Szeged and its surrounding Csongrád County. He was appointed as the director of the combined library and museum of Szeged and Csongrád County in 1917 and served in that post as director until 1934, when he died, aged 54, at Szeged. Today, the museum is named in his honour as the "Móra Ferenc Muzeum", which can be seen on the internet at many websites.
