Hidden Historia
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The project Hidden Historia – the First Female Employees of the Museums in Zagreb is the result of interdisciplinary cooperation between the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb, the Ethnographic Museum, the Museum of Arts and Crafts, and the Croatian School Museum. The research attempted to reconstruct the professional paths and contributions of the first female employees of Zagreb museums, as well as to point out the marginalized role of women in museum institutions in the interwar period. An important source was archival material and museum documentation. Critical and contextual reading of these sources, examining not only what was recorded, but also what was systematically omitted, provided insight into institutional hierarchies, value systems, and the gender division of labor in museums.
