Abstract

The ethnographic museology in Serbia today is under intense criticism from the expert public. Numerous objections addressed to it are related to all fields of activity, from the problems and artifacts treated to the very concepts of the exhibitions. Facing criticism and in an effort to respond to the challenges of modernity, museum professionals are directed to overcome the discontinuity of ethnology/anthropology in the museums within their core science and to keep monitoring the global museum practice. While the academic ethnology/ anthropology has long since expanded its traditional frame of research from the rural areas and the past to the urban areas and the present, ethnology/ anthropology in the museums has just begun to move its focus of interest on topics related to the contemporary society and culture.
