People engaged in hunting in order to prevent beasts, birds, field and household pests from endangering or destroying livestock, crops, harvests and food supplies.
In the collection, various types of objects testify to that: metal snares -, scarecrows, rattles, bird cages, as well as various types of mousetraps, in the form of cages, wire guillotines, deadfalls and others. Falconry, as a special type of hunting, is documented in the collection with bells, and hunting of wild animals and big game with firearms and accompanying equipment.
The basins of the Danube and the Sava, two large Balkan rivers, along with many smaller rivers, streams and lakes, have influenced the population of many areas in Serbia to engage in fishing. The legacy of fishing from prehistoric times to the present has left behind many fishing tools, ranging from barbs and tridents, hooks and multiple hooks, longlines, traps made from reed and wire, as well as nets and net devices.
Traditional fishing is inseparable from watercraft, so the collection is enriched by ark - vessels for transporting live fish, boats, as well as aids and tools for processing and preparing fish.
The collection consists of about 330 items.
The curator in charge of the collection is Dr. Marko Stojanović, museum advisor: marko.stojanovic@etnografskimuzej.rs
