Summary/Abstract: Oszkár Mailand (1858-1924), the Transylvanian Hungarian folklore collector, spent six weeks studying ethnographic museums in Paris in 1885. He visited the Cluny Museum, the Carnavalet historical museum, and then the Louvre and the comparative ethnographical rooms of the Hotel des Invalides (Musée d’artillerie). He spent most of his time in the independent Trocadéro Ethnographic Museum opened in 1879. This paper publishes Oszkár Mailand’s museum history essay published in 1887, accompanied by explanatory notes and an introductory essay.
