U radu se donosi kraći povijesni presjek razvoja Zbirke glazbala Etnografskog muzeja
u Zagrebu, te pregled njezine građe s obzirom na vrstu glazbenih instrumenata, lokalitet
i vrijeme u kojem je najveći broj glazbala prikupljen. Analizom muzejske građe
vezane uz glazbene instrumente otvara se uvid u kriterije prema kojima se muzejska
građa prikupljala.This paper presents a brief historical overview of the collection of musical instruments
in the Ethnographic Museum in Zagreb, and reviews its structure according
to the type of musical instruments, the location and time in which the largest number
of musical instruments were collected. The analysis of museum materials related
