Abstract

Since there is no museum in the area of Otok Ivanić, the “Civic Association Prijatelji
baštine – Amici hereditatis” was founded in 2005, with the main aim to raise awareness
of the local community of the importance to protect local heritage and tradition.
Another aim of the Association - to raise awareness of its own cultural identity is realised
through different actions and manifestations. The heritage in the area of Ivanić-
Grad has outstanding local importance, and the majority of the existing collections
are privately owned and of ethnographic character thus creating the basis of a future
museum. Registration of the material of a private ethnographic collection is under
way in cooperation with the Croatian Ethnological Society and the Department of
Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences
in Zagreb.
