The study deals with defining the documentation of traditional techniques within the ethnographic collection. It addresses the question of supplementing the museum thesaurus with fully functional techniques. Attention is paid to real possibilities of preserving practical skills in relation to ethnographical deposited. The theoretical introduction focussing on the principles of creating museum thesauri is followed by an analysis of experimental approaches to and eventualities of reconstructions of extinct traditional techniques. Defining the dependence of the preservation of traditional handicraft technologies directly in museum institutions on specific bearers of these skills is an important section of the study. The potential of experiments and reconstructions to expand and deepen the documentation of ethnographic collections is demonstrated by three specific examples of implementations carried out in the Wallachian Open-Air Museum in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm and the Centre of Traditional Techniques in Příbor. In the conclusion, the author points out the main difficulties of anchoring the repositories with traditional skills in the structure of museums.
