Historical view of XIX century end gave us not only big architectural projects but theories and thinking systems. Memory was cognition methaphors and infrastructural institutions (museum, grave yard and warehouse) in union. Museum as methaphor As place in which nature sciences and art object were kept and exhibited was central institution.In XIX century museum was embodying most deep revolution problems-expropriation of heritage . Art galleries and society Interest in classic antique which arised since early renessaince was leading to ancient art collections developing in the beginning in Italy and later in other Europe countries.In Britain Lord Arundel constructed gallery in his London residence for classical sculptures collection and it was considered most important outside Italy. Art gallery/museum Definition Art gallery or museum is space or building for art exhibition.Art museums can be open or private but the main characteristic of museum is its collection. History 700 hundred years ago before Christ Hesiod saw dancing girls on Helicon hill. Later in that place temple for muses were built. Political aspects Most of art museums project where made because of political reasons or had political influence.Especially national art galleries where created in order to establish political loyalty and nationalistic feelings. Typology History of museum as type of building has its roots in renessaince.Yard was created in Vatikan Belvedere in 1508 for statues and was quickly copied in all Rome villas and palaces.
