The period between 1918 and 2000 is marked by radical changes: the dissolution of composite states and empires after 1918, the formation of many new national states and identities, the establishment of socialist dictatorships and the escalation of the Cold War after World War II, and the collapse of the colonial system during the 1950s and 1960s (Hobsbawm 1995).
Although the immediate impetus was the death of the Estonian nationalist Jakob Hurt and the need to do something with his immense folklore collection, the concrete steps of turning Hurt’s collection into the Estonian National Museum, inaugurated in 1909, at several steps took inspiration from the Finnish example. It was attractive not the least because of its geographical and cultural proximity (Kuutma 2011). Other examples of the strength of transnational practices, for example, in the realm of colonial art museums (Küster 2010), could easily be added, but the message is hopefully clear: the national museum landscape in nineteenth-century Europe was an intensely transnational affair.
