Eighteenth-century gentleman scholars collected antiquities.
Nineteenth-century nation states built museums to preserve their
historical monuments. In the present world, heritage is a global
concern as well as an issue of identity politics. What does it mean
when runic stones or medieval churches are transformed from
antiquities to monuments to heritage sites? This book argues that
the transformations concern more than words alone: They reflect
fundamental changes in the way we experience the past, and the way
historical objects are assigned meaning and value in the present.
This book presents a series of cases from Norwegian culture to
explore how historical objects and sites have changed in meaning
over time. It contributes to the contemporary debates over
collective memory and cultural heritage as well to our knowledge
about early modern antiquarianism.
