Abstract

This article, based on archival material, official and personal letters
Salamon Berger exchanged with various business associates in the
country and abroad, seeks to supplement existing knowledge about
the early exhibitions of the Zagreb Ethnographic Museum which, as it
turned out, followed the footsteps of the exhibition activities of the Commerce & Crafts Museum founded in 1904. Exhibitions, formed by Berger’s long-term commitment to improve domestic crafts, and to present the folk arts, were generally limited to textile and small wooden items intended for sale to domestic and foreign markets.
