Özet

Bu makale İstanbul Askeri Müzesi ve Sofya Ulusal Tarih Müzesi'ni örnek alarak her iki ülkedeki müze eğitimi politikalarını gözden geçirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Sergilenen eserlerin analiz edilmesi yoluyla her iki ülke müzelerinin de tek bir ulusal kültürü desteklemeyi amaçladığı ortaya konulacaktır. İkinci amaç ise her iki ülkenin müzelerinin nasıl kendi açılarından ulusal kimliklerin iki halk arasındaki kültürel ilişiklerden doğan bilinçli bir ötekileştirme süreci içerdiğini göstermektir. Son olarak bu makale her iki ülke için kültürel farklılığa saygı temeline dayanan alternatif eğitim sistemlerinin uygunluğu tartışılacaktır.
