The
professional library of the Križevci Municipal Museum was formed
at the same time as the Museum itself. When the Museum started,
the library could meet only the staff needs but it eventually
started encompassing other items and expanding outside the narrow
frames of the field. Today its holdings include more than 3
000 items covering the fields of archaeology, ethnology, history,
art history, and museology, as well as monographs and other
theme publications.
The variety of publications makes the Museum library extremely
attractive to all those interested in local history, above all
to students and others exploring the local life in Križevci.
The library is open to all guest users but it is too small to
have a reading-room and books can only be borrowed. A collection
of publications relating to the town, its history and its citizens
is catalogued separately and includes several extremely rare
items.
The Museum closely cooperates with schools and kindergartens,
striving to familiarise the young with the Museum and its activities.
Certain theme exhibitions also include lectures or workshops
(focusing, for example, on the making of Christmas decorations).
