Palace-revolutions When a collection is established, one must find, in the process of collecting, a balance between the uniqueness of objects and being able to demonstrate their mutual connection. When old pictures of the world break down, new connections between the objects emerge and the exhibitions must be re-edited. The essay examines three processes of change: the creation of the historically ordered museum, the formation of the museum of modern art and the change of the art museum on the eve of the 21st century.
