Summary/Abstract: The everyday life that we have been living for several years has been at least touched by the emergence and global development of the virus pandemic, which is already domesticated in colloquial communication under the terms covid, covid 19, corona and similar. Dramatic in its consequences and an «open door» towards future processes in our health-cultural environment: new, harsher, possibly incurable epidemics and changes that would (will!?) inevitably bring (bring?) to the everyday habitus, at the same time could become even more a ramp through which ethnographic museology could take a step towards further modernization and definition future field of action. The question of musealization and further inclusion of cultural testimonies about the epidemic in the ethnographic cultural heritage opens up space for re-examination in a wider cultural context of what today can define the so-called ethnographic object and in what form it can be identified, interpreted and represented.
