The project and exhibition “Costumes and Props of Football Fans” represented the avant-garde in ethnographic museum activity in the 1980s, a social „hot spot” that anticipated the role and importance of football fans in the breakup of Yugoslavia, especially due to the postfestum disappearance of any resonance in museum and public discourse. Recently (in 2023), the exhibition on football legends “In memory of: Paolo/Siniša”, which was put on with international cooperation, actualized in a certain discourse, and with the participation of the social environment, redefined the messages of the project from the 1980s, and indicated possible communication directions for reading museum installations from the domain of sports anthropology. Relations between fans and idols, sports and the political-social environment in different conditions of “museum reading” research can point to different processes in which the need for proactive inclusion of cultural heritage protection institutions in the environment is considered.
