Description

National museums and national galleries played an important role in the nation-building processes of the 19th century. As spaces of knowledge, they educated the population and contributed to shaping the nation. In this context, it was important to convey the nation's history, for example by decorating the rooms with picture cycles showing important historical events, exhibiting associated objects, and creating period rooms to give a specific impression of the past. The contributors to this volume examine the various possibilities of museum education exploring examples from Denmark, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland.

Author Biography:

Marina Beck (Dr. phil.) is lecturer and habilitation candidate at the Institute of Art History at Friedrich-Alexander-Universit�t Erlangen-N�rnberg. Between 2018 and 2023 she coordinated the research group �Shaping Cultural History: The Example of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum and Curatorial Lessons for the Twenty-First Century�. In her habilitation project, she investigates how the image and sculpture programmes and the display strategies of army museums contributed to the creation of a national identity and thus to the process of nation-building in the nineteenth century. Her recent publications focus on display strategies in army museums, state museums and art museums. Christina Strunck (Prof. Dr.) is chair of the Institute of Art History at Friedrich-Alexander-Universit�t Erlangen-N�rnberg. She has published extensively on the architecture and decoration of early modern galleries and palaces, questions of national identity and methodological approaches to image-space ensembles. Between 2018 and 2023 she directed the research group �Shaping Cultural History: The Example of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum and Curatorial Lessons for the Twenty-First Century�.
