Being held captive by time: history mythologization in the museum space

From the description of events museums transfer to systemic presentation of socio-economic and cultural processes. And the anthropological emphasis adjusted the very formulation of the research problem, so diverse artifacts of material and immaterial culture acquired a new meaning and sound. Presentation of museum objects as a cultural phenomenon in the context of humanitarian knowledge provides a unique opportunity for historical interpretations and reconstructions and becomes the basis for a comprehensive study and presentation of social and natural environment, and, above all, human in the exhibition halls of the museums. Despite the difficulties, the museums create the problematic synthetic expositions, where a real person and living, contradictory and intricate history, and hypotheses stimulating thinking, interest in the issue, and the desire to find the answers, ever more clearly emerge from the external abstraction of social and political realities. When creating a myth the real substance of history remains off-screen with its crotches and peripetia.
