Višnja Zgaga ; Muzejski dokumentacijski centar, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

Using examples of exhibitions organised in Croatia over the past twenty years – The Written word in Croatia, Muzejski prostor, Zagreb 1986, Gundulić’s Dream, Muzejski prostor, Zagreb 1989, and Split in the time of Marulić, Split City Museum, Split 2001, the links between museums and the literary heritage was considered. The concept of these exhibitions projects was the result of new literary and theoretical studies, namely an attempt on the part of museums to interpret the social and cultural context of the creation of literary bodies of work on the part of literary greats that deÞ ned their epochs. The themes elaborated in the paper include the
extent to which museum projects helped in the popularisation and reception of literary works and literature, the nature of dangers and advantages of the musealisation of literature.
