Multimedia presentation of the exhibition A Fistful of Beard

The Ethnographic Museum is an institution open to the general public whose main goal is to preserve ethnographic heritage and cultural identities and to understand the world in which we live. The main tasks of the museum are the systematic collection of cultural objects, their preservation, museological processing, professional and scientific study and exhibition. In achieving its goals, the Museum communicates with visitors, institutions, interested communities and users and encourages the acceptance of ethnology as a science of people and their culture.

An exhibition entitled "A Fistful of Beards" was opened at the Ethnographic Museum on the World Men's Beard Day. The exhibition showed visitors the appearance of the interior of the old Zagreb barber shop as it was at the end of the 19th and during the 20th century, and the way of shaving as it was once practiced. Barbershops used to be the center of social life for modern men where they would always chat about different topics and share a laugh or two. At the opening, visitors also had the opportunity to see live the traditional way of shaving as practiced in the last century.
