| Description | Activities of German-Moravian etnographic museums in the field of folk culture have undergone and number of transformations and reversions in the course of their development. There was a connection with not only from the interference of etnographic and museological trends with their activities but also with political and nationalist factors. German groups started to realise the need to preserve materials from rural environment. In some Moravian regions (Křavaře, Hřebeč, Jihlava areas), groups of etnographic workers dedicated to folk culture were formed and their activities let to the foundation of several etnographic museums collections. The influence of the central Viennese institutions was, however, evident also in the further development of these institutions (e.g. as a model of classification of national collections, methods of presentation). |
