The making of the Smoke – A Tobacco Story Exhibition

The paper presents data on the organisation of the Museum tobacco exhibition, i.e. the professional processing of the material from the Smoking Accessories collection of the Ethnographic Museum in Zagreb, insight into the holdings of other museums, archives, private collections and individuals, and field exploration. Particular emphasis was placed on national references on the cultivation and consumption of tobacco since the topic has hardly been discussed in Croatia from the ethnological aspect. The museological concept and accompanying events at the Smoke – the Tobacco Story exhibition (30 January to 28 June 2015) have been presented in greater detail.
