Samenvatting
Essays. Despite globalisation, there is a resurgence of nationalism and national identity which focuses on the own cultural heritage of countries. The heritage culture grows, the past is preserved, represented and consumed as 'heritage'. Survey of the historical development of the public museum, examining conventions of classification and display and stressing the link between the emergence of museums and the development of the modern nation state. The final part focuses on issues facing museums today, such as the difficulties they encounter in responding the competing demands and interests of public funding bodies and local or ethnically specific communities and argues that museum cannot continue ot operate as if they are the repositories of objective and universal knowledge. |
