Museums play an important role not only shaping a society’s view of its past, but also its understanding of national identity in the present moment. This fascinating volume explores the varying ways in which Wales and Welsh identity have been represented in the nation’s museums over the years. Beginning with a proposal for the creation of a National Museum in the 1880s and ending with devolution, Museums, Nations, Identities examines how Wales’s museums are continually enlisted to narrate certain national stories as opposed to others—and what this indicates about the changing perceptions of Welsh identity in the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries.

Museums, Migration and Identity in Europe

The imperatives surrounding museum representations of place have shifted from the late eighteenth century to today. The political significance of place itself has changed and continues to change at all scales, from local, civic, regional to national and supranational. At the same time, changes in population flows, migration patterns and demographic movement now underscore both cultural and political practice, be it in the accommodation of ’diversity’ in cultural and social policy, scholarly explorations of hybridity or in state immigration controls. This book investigates the historical and contemporary relationships between museums, places and identities. It brings together contributions from international scholars, academics, practitioners from museums and public institutions, policymakers, and representatives of associations and migrant communities to explore all these issues.
