Writers' house museums : comparison of Zagreb and London examples

Rad se bavi muzejima književnika in situ, odnosno mjestima povezanim sa životom i stvaranjem književnika. U radu je prvo biti opisana vrsta muzeja književnika te potom prikazana po tri muzeja književnika s područja Zagreba (Marija Jurić Zagorka, Miroslav Krleža, August Šenoa) i Londona (Charles Dickens, Dr Johnson, John Keats). Uspoređeni su njihovi stalni postavi, dostupnost za javnost, obrazovne i kulturne aktivnosti vezane za promicanje baštine povezane s književnicima, prikaz na internetskim stranicama i društvenim mrežama jednih i drugih. Također, prikazane su posljedice u zagrebačkim primjerima muzeja književnika nakon potresa koji je pogodio Zagreb u ožujku i prosincu 2020. godine. Briga za muzeje književnika sagledava se kao potvrda odgovornosti prema povijesti i tradiciji sredine te je u radu prikazano koliko se pažnje pridaje muzejima književnika, kao mjestima čuvanja i prezentiranja književne i kulturne baštine, u Zagrebu, a koliko u Londonu.This paper deals with writers' house museums in situ, that is, places connected with the life and creation of writers. The paper first describes the type of writers' house museums, and then shows three writers' house museums from Zagreb (Marija Jurić Zagorka, Miroslav Krleža, August Šenoa) and London (Charles Dickens, Dr Johnson, John Keats). Their permanent exhibitions, accessibility to the public, educational and cultural activities related to the promotion of the heritage associated with writers, and the presentation on the websites and social media of both were compared. Also, the consequences of Zagreb examples of writers' house museums after the earthquake that hit Zagreb in March and December 2020 are shown. Caring for museums is seen as a confirmation of responsibility towards the history and tradition of the enviroment, and the paper shows how much attention is paid to writers' house museums, as places of preservation of literary and cultural heritage, in Zagreb, and how much in London
