The thesis explains how the Egyptian collection of the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb can be implemented in the educational programmes for elementary school kids. It analyses all the past educational programmes which include the Egyptian collection, including the ones which helped the development of the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb educational activities. It also provides an idea for the new educational programme, which would focus on animals represented on the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb artefacts. Furthermore, significance of animals in Ancient Egpyt is explained too, along with the list of their representations in the Egyptian collection of the Museum. It is based on the conclusion that current programmes need to be refreshed and that the offer of the Museum could use a little bit of inovation. Therefore, the programme indicates that children should learn from the experience rather than from the books that are full of useless dana. It includes analysing pictures of animals in class, visiting the Archaeological Musem in Zagreb and Zoo Zagreb, different tasks at these sites and homework.The scientific literature was consulted to create the idea for the programme, including literature that considers educational programmes, museum publications, programmes related to the Egyptian collection of the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb and animals in Ancient Egypt. It provided the possibillities to construct the thesis in an adequate way and to take into the account all the relevant educational programmes which could help in the creation of a new one. The idea is formed with uniting past, present and the future, which is why it could fit well in the school programme and the educational offer for schoolkids in the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb. The main goal is to enable kids to learn in a fun and original way, but also to teach them to look at the history from a different perspective and lean on experience in making their own conclusions. Also, it is important that the kids learn to understand the significance of the museum heritage so it would help them embrace that as the essential part of their life education.
