Sučić Family Ethnological Collection, Čigoć no 34

This collection grew out of the traditional items preserved by the family, augmented with gifts and purchases. Today it contains about 400 different objects related to the life of the people and the manner in which the population of this part of Posavina made their living at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. The collection contains different old-fashioned forms of ceramic and wooden vessels, tools for woodworking, implements for tilling the soil, aids for transportation, fishing tools and so on. The examples of textile handicrafts are of particular value; they include the costumes, bed linen and towels decorated with the very elaborate Posavina embroidery. Visitors have the chance to purchase embroidered handicrafts, for the handloom is still in operation.

The collection, owned by Jagoda and Zlatko Sučić, is entered onto the Roll of the Cultural Heritage of the Republic of Croatia.
