What developments could be seen in museums of ethnography, ethnology, archaeology, fine arts and handicrafts in the nineteenth century, and how was the concept of ‘national’ interpreted in various countries? To which objects was the pre-eminent meaning of ‘national identity’ attached?

Whenever the monarch was not in residence, these were made accessible to visitors. Following William’s sudden death in 1849 almost everything was sold and the paintings are now distributed around the world. An attempt is made here to reconstruct the contemporary presentation of these collections, both in The Hague and before that in the palace in Brussels; online appendices present, respectively, an account of the images of the collection in the Kneuterdijk Palace, The Hague (1842–1850); a chronological list of the acquisitions of William as prince and king in 1817–28 and 1837–48; and details of eleven paintings now in the Wallace Collection.

The focus is on the formation of global networks in the areas of communication, production, commerce, finance, and mobility. The diverse phenomena of globalization are visualized through film, products, clothing, images, and models by well-known artists such as Armin Linke, Fischli Weiss, Didier Faustino, and Thomas Demand. Alongside the shipping container, an indispensable element of globalization, this presentation provides insights into cultural transfer both in the present day and historically, and presents globalization in relationship to regionalism as well as to worldwide trends.

The central question is how various countries in the nineteenth century designed and disseminated the image of a 'national culture' through their museums. This research project will cover the explicit documents spreading the museum's image (the museums' aims, promotional materials, and reports; the architecture of their buildings) and the implicit assumptions that lie behind the formation and categorization of a collection, as well as the way the collection was exhibited. 1 In this project local variations on the theme of 'national identity' will be studied from an international, comparative perspective. 2 By using this approach, museum-historical research will be advanced a step further, as in the past it has usually been restricted to case studies on individual museums, and few-if any-connections have been made between similar
