Tourism importance of museums in Vojvodina

Abstract

Vojvodina is an area with long and rich cultural tradition. The first museum in Vojvodina was founded in the 19th Serbian century by Matica Srpska, from which the present Museum of Vojvodina emerged. City museums are located in all major cities in Vojvodina, and each of them houses valuable artifacts. Museum visitation is not at a high level and it is necessary to invest a lot of effort and innovation that museums become more interesting than surfing the Internet. One of the good ways that museums become appealing to visitors is the event 'Museum Night'. Museums contribute to tourism value of certain destinations, and owing to tourism, increase the number of visitors, gain popularity and fulfill their cultural and educational function.

Vojvodina je prostor sa dugom i bogatom kulturnom tradicijom. Prvi muzej u Vojvodini osnovala je Matica srpska u 19. veku iz koga je nastao današnji Vojvođanski muzej. Gradski muzeji nalaze se u svim većim gradovima u Vojvodini, i svaki od njih poseduje vredne eksponate. Posećenost muzeja nije na zavidnom nivou i potrebno je uložiti dosta truda i inovacija da muzeji postanu zanimljiviji od 'surfovanja' Internetom. Jedan od dobrih načina da muzeji postanu interesantni za posetioce jeste i manifestacija 'Noć muzeja'. Muzeji doprinose turističkoj vrednosti pojedinih mesta, a zahvaljujući turizmu povećavaju broj svojih posetilaca, stiču popularnost i ispunjavaju svoju kulturno-obrazovnu funkciju.
