The Collection of Objects from Everyday Life is in a sense the most specific collection in the Croatian History Museum. While most museum collections are strictly defined by their content, objects from everyday life are defined by their function. This Collection, therefore, includes a large number of groups of objects – from furniture, pots and plates, clothing, decorations and jewellery, clocks and old measures, to those everyday trifles which are hard to categorise – like tobacco-pipes, keys, locks and padlocks, wallets, writing accessories, optical accessories, musical and medical instruments, grooming accessories etc. Among all these objects especially interesting are those directly linked with prominent figures from Croatian history. This is why this Collection should be viewed both as illustrations of civil life in the 19th and 20th century and as a supplement to other historical evidence.
