Poulot, Dominique, Felicity Bodenstein, and José María Lanzarote Guiral (eds.). 2012. Great Narratives of the Past Traditions and Revisions in National Museums: Conference Proceedings from EuNaMus, European National Museums: Identity Politics, the Uses of the Past and the European Citizen, Paris 28 June – 1 July & 25–26 November 2011. Linköping: Linköping University Electronic Press.

This collection of conference papers examines the different narratives that museums have, since the beginning of the nineteenth century and up until the present day, developed as monuments to and of national histories. The aim has been to identify how narratives and their impact might have changed over time and more particularly how this can contribute to our understanding of how they might be changing today.

This publication is the fourth in a series of open access reports from EuNaMus.
