Museum of the City of Zagreb : "Clothing
- a social status!?"
The celebration of International Museum Day, May
18 2004, involved 80 Croatian museums and galleries,
which put on more than 200 different events, some
50 of which were devoted to the theme of this year's
celebration - the non-material heritage.
As central museum institution in Croatia, the Museum
Documentation Centre. on this occasion spurred the
organisation of various events.
In the illustration of this year's topic, in most
of the projects put on the museums presented various
examples of the non-material heritage (the Croatian
law of 1999 provides for the protection of non-material
assets). Among them three exceptionally valuable
non-material assets stand out: the pentatonic scale
of Istria, the lace of the island of Pag, and the
Legend of Picoks from Ðurdevac. On the poster
of this year, designed by the renowned Croatian
designer Boris Ljubicic, the symbol of one more
important item of the non-material assets of the
Croatian heritage was presented - the Sinj Alka,
a jousting tournament that has been put on ever
since 1715. Museums also displayed various ways
in which the non-material heritage was preserved.
Additionally, two dialect dictionaries were published,
as well as one gallery guide in a local dialect
and a CD of writings on the local heritage. As well
as the ethnographic and archaeological heritage,
civic or town culture was presented by the reprint
of the regulations and statutes of civic associations
of the 19th century, the social status of citizens
of the 19th and 20th centuries
was introduced, the musical culture of the 1950s,
and a campaign was initiated to collect material
concerning the life and culture of Lovar Romany.
The Croatian National Committee of ICOM (HNK ICOM)
organised a lecture by Lidija Nikocevic (member
of the executive committee, ICME of ICOM) entitled:
The Non-Material Heritage and the Opportunities
that Exist for its Museological Interpretation and
Presentation Using the Example of Ethnographic Museums,
