This chapter delves into the rich history of archaeological collecting, the creation and development of archaeological museums, and museums with significant archaeological collections. It explores how the production of archaeological knowledge and heritage has been intricately shaped by the evolution of these collections, influenced by scientific advancements, ideological and political agendas—often nationalist—and the growing tourist industry. These ongoing shifts have prompted new perspectives on territories and communities, necessitating continuous updates to museum narratives to remain relevant and engaging. The chapter emphasizes the bidirectional relationship between archaeological collections and the societies they represent, as seen in the varied textual and iconographic narratives in these museums. By thoroughly reviewing key aspects of this extensive history, particularly in Europe, the chapter aims to provide deep and nuanced insight into the European context, which is essential for understanding the broader, interconnected world we inhabit.
