Abstract
The success of the World of Toys project, held at the Ethnographic Museum in 2012 and 2013, and the guest exhibition Hrvaške otroške igrače med tradicijo in sodobnostjo (Croatian Children’s Toys Between Tradition and Modernity), held at the Slovenian Ethnographic Museum in Ljubljana in 2020, proved that there is still significant public interest for the topic of children’s toys and games, as well as other related themes encompassed by the anthropological notion of cultural childhood. Despite the considerably challenging task of, figuratively speaking, keeping the museum’s doors open under the circumstances of a global epidemic and in the midst of post-earthquake renovations, Iris Biškupić Bašić, Ph.D., the Senior Curator of the Ethnographic Museum, developed the exhibition project Toys – Childhood Forever, while designer Nikolina Jelavić Mitrović designed and adapted the content for the youngest visitors.
