Sažetak
The paper presents isolated examples in the preparation and realization of the latest permanent display of the Virovitica Town Museum opened in 2019. Special emphasis has been placed on the museum exhibits from the Ethnological Department, which are to portray everyday life in Virovitica and its surroundings in the 19th and the 20th centuries. The objective of the paper is to present museum exhibits of heritage-related significance through a new contextualization within the museum display, unified by a unique topic and a common story. The museum concept, called the Wooden Age, includes topics of wood as a material originally used from prehistory to the present day. The museum exhibits (in both direct and indirect connection with wood) are thus connected with everyday life and human activity through the topics of work, identity, money-earning, family, housing, social life, beliefs, and artistic expression. The paper further tackles museum challenges in selecting and preparing the exhibits, composing stories intended to portray material and non-material heritage, and installing museum exhibits based on museographic considerations at a protected cultural monument – the manor huse of the Pejačević family.
