Europe's national museums have since their creation been at the
centre of on-going nation making processes. National museums
negotiate conflicts and contradictions and entrain the community
sufficiently to obtain the support of scientists and art
connoisseurs, citizens and taxpayers, policy makers, domestic and
foreign visitors alike. National Museums and Nation-building in
Europe 1750-2010 assess the national museum as a manifestation of
cultural and political desires, rather than that a straightforward
representation of the historical facts of a nation. National
Museums and Nation-building in Europe 1750-2010 examines the degree
to which national museums have created models and representations
of nations, their past, present and future, and proceeds to assess
the consequences of such attempts. Revealing how different types of
nations and states - former empires, monarchies, republics,
pre-modern, modern or post-imperial entities - deploy and
prioritise different types of museums (based on art, archaeology,
culture and ethnography) in their making, this book constitutes the
first comprehensive and comparative perspective on national museums
in Europe and their intricate relationship to the making of nations
and states.
