In the interwar period of Czechoslovakia, there were in Prague four museums, that owned ethnographic collections: National Museum, Náprstek Museum, Czechoslovak Ethnographical Museum and Czechoslovak Museum of Agriculture. We can observe strong tendencies to unite these collections under one roof. Many factors played a role during the attempts at unification: unclear competencies and incompatible opinions of state offices, pressure from political parties, poor economic situation of private societies that owned mentioned museums as well as personal ambitions of some politicians and museum representatives. The attempt to unite all ethnographic collections in one museum did not succeeded, but many circumstances of the unification process are quite significant for the cultural environment of the first Czechoslovak republic.
