Abstract

THOUGH the expression ‘folk museum’ is loosely used, it is generally understood, like ‘folk-lore’, to relate to the ordinary people, the rank and file of the population, the labourers, the artisans, the craftsmen, as opposed to the ruling class. Such collections of indigenous products have great historical value. They deserve to be regarded as almost the only means of preserving visible records of the national characteristics. The humbler the art or the handicraft, the more important it is from this point of view.
