The paper investigates the collection-building strategies in the contemporary art museums of Central Europe. As its methodology, the study takes into consideration the collection-building principles and the way they are related to other activities of the institutions. It focuses on the role of the collection as an ensemble of musealized objects. The paper also intends to raise questions on how such institutions contribute, through their collections, to the participation of the given country in international discourse on contemporaneity. As a consequence of this collection-based observation conception, contemporary art centers and museums without collections are excluded from the observations.

The observation focuses on the factors of national and international narratives intersecting each other in the process of modern and contemporary art museumbased national cultural policies. What are the borders of Central Europe? Where does Eastern Europe start? Where does Western Europe end? In the present study, the definition of Central Europe is based on a museo-geopolitical approach, and includes all the countries with a shared process of museum development since the 1920s: the formation of national history, art and ethnographical collections, either based on existing private collections or on the institutionalization of museum departments in the above fields. The formation of museums with an artistic character was closely related to national movements in the nineteenth century, and occurred in imperial contexts in the territories of the Habsburg Empire (later Austria-Hungary), Prussia (later Germany) and Russia. The desire for a national encyclopedic museum tied in with a national approach to the history of local, regional and national events.
