Possessors and Possessed: Museums, Archaeology, and the Visualization of History in the Late Ottoman Empire
Wendy Shaw
Analyzes how and why museums emerged in the late-nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire. This work argues that, rather than directly emulating post-Enlightenment museums of Western Europe, Ottoman elites produced categories of collection and modes of display appropriate to framing a new identity for the empire in the modern era.
