Zur Repräsentation von Geschichte und Kultur des Alten Orients in großeneuropäischen Museen: Die Analyse der Dauerausstellungen in den vorderasiatischen Museen im Louvre,British Museum und Pergamonmuseum

European museums, including the Louvre, British Museum, and Pergamonmuseum (Museum Island, Berlin), have historically represented ancient Near Eastern cultures through lenses shaped by imperialist ideologies. This study reveals how these institutions constructed narratives of civilization that often reflected colonial power dynamics, particularly in the 19th century. By analyzing permanent exhibitions, it highlights differences in museological approaches: the Louvre emphasized formal aesthetics, the British Museum adopted a historical-didactic style, while the Pergamonmuseum focused on associative cultural contexts. The research combines theoretical frameworks with detailed case studies, exposing how museum displays both preserve and reinterpret ancient histories within broader geopolitical narratives.
