Collecting to Shape and Reflect the Nation Conference (In-person and online)

22-24 October 2026 // V&A South Kensington

‘Collecting to Shape and Reflect the Nation: Changing Museum Strategies from the Nineteenth to the Twentieth Century’ Conference is a multifaceted exploration of how national museum collections were assembled, shape and reflect national identities.

The Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) and the Germanisches Nationalmuseum (GNM) are collaborating to organise a pair of conferences exploring the relationship between museums’ histories and their future missions. This first conference examines how large-scale museums with national remits can critically engage with their own institutional pasts to inform their present-day identities and considers how these institutions can contribute to fostering social cohesion in increasingly diverse twenty-first-century societies.
