Posocco argues that, in a world of nation-states where nationalism is the dominant ideology, all museums are national museums, even when they aren't. In this perspective, they can (and do, in the case studies under analysis in this book) become the cultural offshoots of political wars, places where the national past is contested, rewritten, and sometimes even created from scratch, and finally exhibited. Paying particular attention to the decision-making and economic aspects of the museum, the book also examines the micro-sociological and political aspects, which will be the foundation for further reflections on the macro dynamics of museum-making in other countries and contexts\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMuseums and Nationalism in Croatia, Hungary, and Turkey \u003c\/i\u003eprovides rare and interesting insights into how museums materialise culture in the service of nationalism.
