Ana Kolonić
Abstract
The paper is based on direct experience of processing and digitisation of chests from the Furniture Collection of the Ethnographic Museum in Zagreb. Quantitative (numerical) and qualitative data (descriptions, comparisons) has been presented that show the current status of the chests within the previously mentioned collection of the Museum. The paper lists further opportunities for professional processing and valorisation and interpretation of these objects in the future. Moreover, the paper provides historical development, typology and the role and the importance of chests as usable objects of traditional culture from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.
