The role of Museums in the Construction of the Social Memory of the 1990’s in Croatia

Mihaela Bingula ; Zagreb

Sažetak

Museums are institutions whose mission is to sum up, preserve and communicate
the objects of heritage. We can interpret them as places of memory where
ideas about history, past and tradition are being materialized and stored. The
aim of this paper is to show how social memory was created and changed in
the Croatian museums in the nineties. Using the example of the exhibition catalogue
analysis from the period 1985-1995 from the Ethnographic museum
in Zagreb and the Croatian History Museum, the author’s goal is to show
which historical motives, personalities and traditions are systematically being
introduced and emphasized in museums and which ones are subject to attempts
to have them ‘’erased’’.
