Popular music in former Yugoslavia appear to have had a much deeper impact on the development of the socialist state and its successors than is usually thought to be the case. The collection by the authors from the region presents feelings, stories and memories on popular music in Yugoslavia and its successor states.

In the article, the author reflects on contemporary museology and cultural anthropology paradigms that focus on participation and collaboration to include people from vulnerable groups in the museum work. The article presents how the paradigm shift to participation or collaboration changes the epistemological value of experiential knowledge related to cultural heritages and the way museums work. Finally, the author shows how three experimental participatory, collaborative practices in national museums with the change of perspective on people?s role from passive visitors to active collaborators also changed the perspective on their vulnerability and presented a valuable tool for better social inclusion. Through participatory approaches, museums can gain more social relevance in contemporary society.

ABSTRACT
The article presents modern museology concepts in the 21 st century, including participation, inclusion, and accessibility, and investigates the changed ways of working and responsibility of museum workers. The views of the museum workers are then used to evaluate the project that implemented the above mentioned theoretical premises. The project Accessability of cultural heritage to vulnerable groups was carried out by the Slovene Ethnographic Museum in collaboration with other national museums and the gallery between 2013-2015. The authors conclude that the needs of the public require changes to museum work and emphasize the demand for new employments.
