Sažetak
Vladimir Tkalčić held the function of Director of the Museum of Arts and
Crafts from the beginning of September 1933 to June 1952, which was the period
of his vocational maturity – from age 50 until his retirement. The paper
provides insight into Tkalčić’s vision of the development of the institution and
into his achievements which allowed, already in his lifetime, that practice systems
be derived from the Museum of Arts and Crafts and funds be formed
as a baseline for the establishment of new institutions in Zagreb, such as the
conservation and restoration workshop of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences
and Arts, the Museum of Serbs in Croatia, and the Technical Museum. Interpretations
of certain achievements that Tkalčić accomplished in conditions of
economic and political instability, in a whirlwind of confusion combined with
the violence of wartime, are inevitably imbued with controversy. Examination
of the documentation fund of the Museum of Arts in Crafts, in the first place
Tkalčić’s legacy and registry books from years of his mandate, provides an insight
into the contextual mosaic of his complex endeavours, as well as into the
set of his character qualities that supported the principles of professional ethics.
