Abstract

Examples of the cultural heritage in a certain area bear witness to the knowledge and wisdom of people who used to live there. The regional wisdom is cumulative and has been accumulated over centuries, and it is our moral obligation to pass it on to new generations.
The importance of cultural and ethnographic heritage, not only of material remains such as utensils, but also of the wisdom captured in those objects, was recognized and it was decided to preserve this traditional heritage in an ethno museum of the Slivno area.
The Slivno ethnographic collection has objects used in country households and farms in everyday life. These objects date back to the second half of the 19th and the 20th century.
Their value is ethnographic, cultural and historical, and they are the records of the traditional cultural heritage of the Dalmatian hinterland. They bear witness to the time when they were made and indicate different economic, social, and cultural relations of the past. A visit to the museum should lead to an understanding of the aim, the message and the meaning of particular exhibits, which makes it possible to create different workshops, playrooms and
projects for children. The final goal is to provide an impetus for individual visits to the museum.
The pedagogic value of the ethnographic collection in Slivno and its material artifacts is undeniable. The provisions of the new Croatian National Education Standard (HNOS) provide for integrated teaching and a more active participation of children in field work, which can be done in a museum.
Finally, although the links between schools and museums are still not well developed, the importance of their interrelation is being recognized in our community.
