Publications
The academic dissemination will include a series of conferences and reports. The researchers in the project will present papers at scholarly conferences and publish articles in international peer-reviewed journals. Reports, articles and conference presentations will form the backbone of several book manuscripts, including a concluding book for a wider audience. Main findings and conclusions will be published in Policy Briefs.
Policy Briefs will be published every six months from January 2012.
Open Access Report: Building national museums in Europe 1750-2010
The aim of the EuNaMus research programme is to to illuminate gaps in existing research by adding a crucial comparative perspective to the study of national museums. We are hereby presenting the first in a series of EuNaMus Open Access reports: the first comprehensive overview over national museums in Europe including an outline of the basis of comparative elements and significant variables.
In a comparative light and as a rule, the trajectories of the European national museums provide an account of the parallel interactions between museum, nation and state and give witness to the long standing relevance of national museums as constituent components of what is analysed as negotiated cultural constitutions.

EDITED COLLECTION
National Museums: New Studies from Around the World
Edited by Simon Knell, Peter Aronsson, Arne Amundsen
This book is the outcome of Eunamus and the NaMu program's six international workshops.
From the publishers presentation:
"National Museums is the first book to explore the national museum as a cultural institution in a range of contrasting national contexts. Composed of new studies of countries that rarely make a showing in the English-language studies of museums, this book reveals how these national museums have been used to create a sense of national self, place the nation in the arts, deal with the consequences of political change, remake difficult pasts, and confront those issues of nationalism, ethnicity and multiculturalism which have come to the fore in national politics in recent decades.
National Museums combines research from both leading and new researchers in the fields of history, museum studies, cultural studies, sociology, history of art, media studies, science and technology studies, and anthropology. It is an interrogation of the origins, purpose, organisation, politics, narratives and philosophies of national museums."
