Abstract
The text depicts the role of Vladimir Tkalčić in the Ethnographic Museum in Zagreb from 1919 to 1934, a period characterised by the so-called diarchy between him and Salamon Berger. Various museological and expert concepts that they represented and implemented were a reflection of new ideas and inherited concepts in turbulent times after World War I and the establishment of a new state, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Tentatively, we can speak of a “scientific” approach and a “commercial” approach that juxtaposed, intertwined, and complemented each other. The data from the museum documentation show that S. Berger understood the activities of the Museum as a continuation of his previous trade and craft practices, while V. Tkalčić sought to introduce museological and scientific principles in the museum work.
