The text by Jiřina Veselská reminds us of the proposed systematics of classification of ethnographic and folklore phenomena created in the 1960s by doc. Ludvík Kunz, the director of the Ethnographic institute of the Moravian Museum in Brno at that time, as a reaction to the questions connected with the presentation of research results and the formation of Brno ethnographic collection by means of the permanent exhibition Folk in five generations.
In Kunz´s systematic classification, an extraordinary comprehensiveness can be observed The contents of the whole typescript are divided into two parts:
I. Structure - it includes the listings of individual sets of information necessary, according to the author, for a comprehensive view of folk culture and tradition.
II. Realization - it develops in individual sub-topics what, in the author´s opinion, is necessary for the formulation of the contents of the discipline itself, the preparation of new experts, the formation of an image of the folk culture which would be as complete as possible. In the contents we can also find a description of the research methods which will lead to the expected result.
The article deals with the development of Czech ethnographic museology in 1948-1989. It describes the factors which significantly determined the then form of it (especially the relation to mother disciplines - museology and ethnography, former traditions of ethnographic museology and period political situation), whereby it tries to grasp the researched themes through four basic thematic circles 1) analysis of period conceptions and interpretation of this phenomena (e.g. Beneš, Kunz, Suk), 2) introduction of themes that resonated strongly within it (e.g. educational and exhibition activities, open-air museums, documentation of the present), 3) description of the activities of organisationsand institutions, which significantly influenced the final form of ethnographic museology (e.g. Ústřední muzejní rada [Central Museum Council, Ústřední muzeologický kabinet [Central Cabinet of Museology], and 4) participation of its representatives in university teaching (Prague, Brno).
