Sažetak
The Glypthoteque of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts is a one of a kind institution in the Republic of Croatia, museum of sculpture. It has the most systematically collected material –plaster casts of sculpture of the Croatian heritage cast in the field in the first half of the 20th century. Museum has several collections of casts, which present the major works of given individual periods, from Antiquity, pre-Romanesque, R omanesque, Gothic and R enaissance, divided according to period or theme into several groups. There are plaster casts of ancient sculpture of the best known major works of Greek art acquired in 1892, and a part of the Glypthoteque since 1940. Another group is that of plaster casts of fragments of immoveable monuments of the Croatian cultural heritage from the pre-R omanesque to the R enaissance including major works from various sites in Croatia. The Collection of Plaster Casts of George of Dalmatia (J uraj Dalmatinac) constitutes a separate unit in which the oeuvre of the most important Croatian builder and sculptor of the 15th century is shown, with casts from Split, Ancona, Pag island and Dubrovnik, as well as from St J ames’ Cathedral in Šibenik, which is included in the UNE SCO World H eritage L ist. Another unit contains plaster casts of stechaks from the 13th to the 16th century, specific and unique monolithic medieval funerary monuments which is included in the UNE SCO World H eritage L ist since 2016. The material listed will be used to show collecting and the role and perception of plaster casts in the museum. The traditional presentation of the collections was founded on the scholarly disciplines of history, archaeology or art history, so as to be able to present, for educational purposes, the development of sculpture between Antiquity and the Renaissance. The present paper aims to indicate the way in which the focus could be taken off just one scholarly discipline in the presentation of the collections so that they can be presented interdisciplinarily. Also it will be shown the need for contemporary interdisciplinary methods of presentation, their potential and digitisation. In this connection we have become involved in a digitisation project, and the casts from the permanent displays are presented in the repository of the Digital Collection of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts (www.dizbi.hr), which is included in the E uropeana Cloud (eCloud). That will enable rapid access to information as well as at the same time the preservation of the major works of our cultural heritage, which were preserved in casts by methods that were contemporary in the 20th century and are today safeguarded in a digital version. In addition, the needs of the users of our museum for such versions are served.
