Résumé
This paper proposes a route through the history of «national museums» from their origins at the end of the 18th century to the present day. First, it reflects on the conceptualization of «national heritage» and its role in the creation of museum collections throughout the 19th century. The itinerary continues with the changes in the narratives of these museums after the Second World War and ends with the latest debates on these collections in postmodern societies.
