About the Traditional Costume of the Drniš Area

Godine 1980. vršio se otkup nošnji za muzejsku zbirku Muzeja drniške krajine, a kako Muzej nije imao etnologa, pozvan je etnolog Regionalnog zavoda za zaštitu spomenika kulture u Splitu da obavi taj posao, budući da je suradnja ovih dvaju ustanova bila veoma dobra. Taj posao nije bilo jednostavno obaviti jer je nošnja uglavnom izišla iz svakodnevne uporabe već početkom XX. st., zadržavajući se u nekim sredinama i do Drugog svjetskog rata, ali najčešće nepotpuna.In 1980 the Regional Museum of Drniš made acquisitions of folk costumes for its collection.

It was not such an easy job to perform since the folk costume had no longer been worn daily since the beginning of the 20th century and has survived only in some areas up to World War II though incomplete
