Abstract
In its activities, the Croatian School Museum has particularly focused on educational activities. Until 2004 when the Museum employed a museum educator, educational programs had been delivered by curators. After such museum educator was employed, the museum’s educational activities gradually began to develop and grow. The Museum opened its doors to a wide range of customers with different museum/educational activities, programs and collaborations with different institutions. As one of its trademarks, the museum presents its museum workshops – standard ones (concerning the permanent exhibition) and periodical ones (concerning dedicated exhibitions or specific programs). In 2020, faced with the COVID-19 pandemic and the devastating earthquake in Zagreb of 22 March, the Museum’s educational activities suddenly changed. Its well-established educational services were transformed into different forms of online content available on virtual platforms – the museum’s website and across social media.
