Abstract
The article comprises a contribution to the knowledge of Vladimir Tkalčić’s museological work during his directorship at the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb (1933–1952). Tkalčić’s role in the creation and presentation of the Museum’s “comprehensive” collection of carpets and kilims is determined in the context of museological practices and research in the field of carpet-making at the time. Based on the analysis of the number and type of carpets and kilims acquired during his term, and an examination of the Museum’s archival material, primary and secondary documentation, it is possible to gain an insight into the history of the collection and Vladimir Tkalčić’s collecting and exhibiting policies.
