Universal Objects and Universal Museums
The exhibition is divided into eight sections exploring transnational histories of museum collections in London and Paris between the mid-nineteenth century and the early twentieth century and the impact of temporary exhibitions on the evolution of museums.
This exhibition is based on the 'Universal Histories and Universal Museums' research project, which investigates the origins and evolution of collections and museums, and their relations to ideas regarding the construction of historical knowledge.
