In my undergraduate thesis, I attempt to find out how and in what way the public was informed about museum activities through the daily newspapers Slovenec, Slovenski narod and Jutro during the interwar period. First, with the help of museological theory, I define the museum and its functions, and then I review the museum activity in Slovenia between the two wars. I continue with an overview of cultural development and the development of newspaper activities in the period between the two wars and then present each of the newspapers. In the next chapter, I focus on the analysis of articles that reported about museums and their activities. First, I present the method of data collection, then I do a quantitative analysis of the articles, and then the content analysis. In the content analysis, I focus on each newspaper separately and use a different way of presenting the articles for each one. In the first I classify them chronologically and give short summaries of the contents, in the second I present with various examples from individual issues what kind of museum activities were reported, and in the third I collect information from articles and use them to present a picture of individual museum institutions and museum societies that are acquired by the newspaper's readers over the years. Then I continue with the comparison of three events, which were written about by all the newspapers in question. I conclude the task with an interpretation of the results.
