| Description | The aim of this study is to acquaint the reader with the concept of research into national identity in museums. For this purpose, the text first discusses the concept of national identity and provides a basic insight into this topic. Furthermore the text deals with the transformation of the research paradigm in museums and shows that previous research interest in the demographic characteristics of museum visitors was later replaced by a focus on the visitor's personal experience. The emphasis that has been placed on quantitative research has gradually shifted to research of qualitative or mixed character, which was also reflected in the studies of national identity. The research into national identity presented by museums is finally exemplified through the analysis of three selected research studies which not only demonstrate the methodological concept of research into national identity in museums, but also present interesting and stimulating findings. |
