Penser l’histoire en acte : les period rooms dans les musées germaniques au xixe siècle
Abstrak
In the German states of the 19th century, the slow movement towards unity made history a key scholarly discipline and accorded major importance to national history, not only for scholars but for the population as a whole. Museums thus contributed massively to an awareness of the local and national past. In Europe’s first decorative arts museums, the period room played an educational role, that of teaching the history of the decorative arts to those now producing industrial goods. Gradually, it came to contribute to cultural history as well. Although this process drew on French and English models, the period room in the Germanic territories became a tool for the museums to analyse and characterise the past in a very discerning way that had no equivalent in other European countries. As an immersive space, moreover, it was also a place for social interaction.
