Abstract
Display in museums can be quite challenging, especially when it comes to three-dimensional textile objects. Display of costumes can be problematic because the mannequins must fit perfectly so they don´t cause new damage to the objects. We can achieve that by carefully adjusting them. That was done with three mannequins for three ethnographic costumes from the Ethnographic Museum of Dubrovnik Museums. All three mannequins were successfully adjusted on an educational workshop that took place on the University of Dubrovnik. The workshop was organized in collaboration with Croatian Conservation Institute and Ethnographic Museum of Dubrovnik Museums in October 2018.
