Summary/Abstract: By addressing this topic, I would like to draw the attention to the relationship between the children and the museum. It’s the curator’s point of view, the person who welcomes them and introduces them into the history of our traditions. There is a great deal of talk about the living museum and the different presentation of expositions. But is this possible in our working conditions?The two main aspects of our work with children will be presented in the text: as visitors on one hand and as learners on the other. For we know that according to the ICOM statutes, the museum is a permanent, non-profit institution serving the public and its development, open to the public and conducting research on the tangible evidence we have of man and the environment. I would add here intangible testimonies such as songs, rituals and customs, legends, tales that the specialist can also provide for scientific and educational purposes. We will present the children's visits to the ‘Uspeh’ Project of the Ministry of Education and Sciences and the results of our Ethno workshop held in the yard of the Ethnographic Complex.
