Cultural Assets Outside of the Museum Fund

 

In this way the Museum of Science and Technology protects very valuable objects of technological culture - in some cases preventing their destruction or removal from the country. The Museum instructs owners on measures of technical preservation and elevates awareness of the significance of preserving technological cultural heritage. In this way, protection has been provided for items such as the collection of Tito’s automobiles, the collection of television equipment used at the time when television started in our country, and for nine ships from the turn of the century. It is especially interesting to note that some protected objects still perform their functions. Still in use are items such as the jacquard looms which transform patterns from punched cards to silk table cloths, napkins and bed linen; and the steam machine which has continually operated since 1871, driving the lift of the mine pit in Senjski mine.
