Abstract

This paper analyzes the notion of sustainable development, provides a historical overview of how the vision of sustainable development was embraced in the second half of the 20th century on a global level, and which sustainable development ideas and goals have been defined for the 21st century. On a general level, sustainable development and the Museum faced each other to see what the Museum could do for sustainable development and vice versa. Throughout its 120 years of existence, the Croatian School Museum has demonstrated by its extensive programs and activities that sustainable development had existed before it was defined. The paper highlights the best examples from the 120-year practice regarding the Museum’s exhibitive, but also educational and marketing efforts. At the end, the paper provides guidance and ideas for the future.
