Sažetak
The most of Croatian Oriental and Ancient Egyptian collections were found during the 19th and early 20th century. Currently in Croatian museum and private collections great number of Ancient Egyptian antiquities are kept. The number can be estimated between four and five thousand. The biggest and the best known collection is kept in the Archaeological museum in Zagreb (ex-National museum). It was found in the early 1860’s from the great number of private collectors, noblemen, noble families, wealthy citizens etc. (e.g. Mihael Barić, Franjo Jordan, Josip Forz Kožalić, Juraj Haulik, Gustav Koritić …). Other museums also have the great number of Ancient Egyptian artefacts which were mostly donated to those institutions by local Maecenas and merchants who travelled to Egypt and Orient (e.g. Ivo Nordeli, brothers Amerling, noble family Pasthory-Varady etc.). In these paper author will try to give short overview of genesis of these collections with known details of their donators. The whole subject is part of my long study of the Ancient Egyptian collections in Croatian museum and private collections which started in 1999.
