Abstract
One of the largest collections of the Croatian School Museum is the Collected Students’ and Teachers’ Papers, which now includes over 10 000 museum items. Artistic creations of our students, teachers and professors are an important part of the collection. Works of visual art were mostly collected through the joint efforts of the public, students, teachers, schools and Museum employees. Ever since it was established in 1901, the Croatian School Museum has systematically and dedicatedly collected different materials, including donations received from individuals and institutions, and pursued various activities, for example the organization of art contests addressing important and popular topics, dedicated exhibitions, and well-designed educational campaigns. The Museum motivates its visitors, users and the entire public to help preserve this daily life, the moment of living and creating, for future generations. This paper will present the result of such approach and what it helped collect and preserve.
