Ebook: Die Musealisierung der Nation: Ein kulturpolitisches Gestaltungsmodell des 19. Jahrhunderts

This book is the first comparative examination of the conception and founding of German national, central, and state museums in the German-speaking world during the “long” 19^th century. These museums were founded by actors who competed and emulated each other, some motivated by monarchism (Bavarian National Museum), some by love of literature (Schiller Museum), and some by trans-national notions (Germanic National Museum).
