Summary/Abstract: It is more than 45 years since the great collector Istvan Mezo donated his collection to the Museum of the Sarajevo: an extremely heterogenous collection of artefacts assembled by Mezo throughout his life and donated as a whole to the Museum. Recognizing the human passion to collect, and how it compares with the basic function of a museum, many authors have discussed the issue, all of whom agree that it forms the basis of what museum s are about, and that it should be encouraged, for no matter how systematically museums may approach their task, they can never cover the entire cultural heritage.
