Protection of objects from the

Collection of Musical Instruments at
the Ethnographic Museum in Zagreb

In the paper the author approaches the problem of protection of musical in-
struments as museum objects at the Ethnographic Museum in Zagreb in a
theoretical way, taking constantly into account practical appliance of theoret-
ical premises and choosing examples from practice. As professional literature
translated into the Croatian language has not so far published a text which
deals with practical ways of protecting musical instruments in museums, this
paper discusses theoretical premises of international museological and ethno
musicological organizations.
