Summary/Abstract: Zdenka Lechner, as the first ethnologist employed in the Museum of Slavonia, as well as in the wider area of Slavonia, Baranya and Srijem has done some pioneering work. The author reviews Lechner’s work based on regular reports given on the Ethnographic Department in Osječki zbornik, where the majority of data is already contained, and based on Lechner’s published works and bibliography as well as on ample documentary material: reports on work written every three months, reports on official trips undertaken, correspondence, fotodocumentation. Beside stressing the working results of Zdenka Lechner, the author brings to light the broadness and complexity of running the Museum, problems and difficulties she encountered together with her great enthusiasm, self-denial and love for what she was doing.
