Collection of artistic representations of traditional attire

Collection Manager:
Branka Hajdić, senior curator

The collection contains two albums of watercolours created in the 19th century, sixty drawings with motifs of embroidery from Konavle, Herzegovina and south Serbia created in the Studio of Jelka Miš, and a number of coloured photographs of men in traditional attire from the Dubrovnik area.

The albums, one of which is entitled Costumi dei dintorni di Ragusa, by Salvatore Kofsic, of 1880, has some 30 miniatures with motifs of male and female figures from the dance in the folk attire of the Dubrovnik area and further afield, as well as depictions of wedding customs. They have great value for the reconstruction of the attire of the people, particularly for those (mainly of men) that went out of use at the end of the 19th century.
