Abstract
The paper first provides an overview of the historical level of museology and
the history of museology as its special aspect because researching the work of a
personality from the history of museums in Croatia belongs exactly to this level
and aspect of museology. Next, successive stages of the development of museological
thought are given, and persons who made contributions in Croatia
are identified. In conclusion, it is determined that although Tkalčić cannot be
called the initiator of the Croatian museology, as provided in the entry in the
Croatian Encyclopaedia, he was an expert on basic theoretical museological
concepts, even more so in the field of practical museology, who not only kept
track of foreign thought but also laid in practice many foundations related to
the furnishing of museum buildings, the principles of good exhibition, and the
use of various means of communication, all with an aim to allow also the least
educated audience to find museums to be places of education and learning.
