The Germanisches Nationalmuseum is a museum in Nuremberg, Germany. Founded in 1852, it houses a large collection of items relating to German culture and art extending from prehistoric times through to the present day. With current holdings of about 1.2 million objects, the Germanisches Nationalmuseum is Germany's largest museum of cultural history. Formerly the Germanisches Museum, it was founded by a group of individuals led by the Franconian baron, Hans von und zu Aufsess, whose goal was to assemble a "well-ordered compendium of all available source material for German history, literature and art". The buildings incorporate the remaining structures of the former Nuremberg Charterhouse, dissolved in 1525 and used for a variety of secular purposes until in 1857 what was left of the premises, by then badly dilapidated, was given to the Museum. == Name, establishment, guiding principles == The name of the museum, ''Germanic'' National Museum can be understood from the historical context of the mid nineteenth century. In 1846, German linguists and historians, amongst them the Brothers Grimm, Leopold Ranke und Jacob Burckhardt, met in Frankfurt, and decided to attribute the term "Germanistik" to their scientific discipline. The name of the museum represents the idea of a close cultural relationship within a region defined by the common German language, and a shared German cultural tradition. Founded in 1852, the intention of the museum was to document the cultural unity of the German-speaking areas in view of the failed German revolutions of 1848–49. In the mid nineteenth century this was not conceived as an exaggerated patriotism, but was instead a progressive concept.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gnm.de/en/services/frequently-asked-questions/ )〕 The museum understands itself as an important research and educational institution. As a national museum and a museum of the entire German-speaking region the German National Museum collects and maintains cultural, artistic and historical testimonials from the beginning of history to the present. As a research and educational institution of international standing, the collections, exhibitions and publications present the cultural history of the German-speaking countries in an international and interdisciplinary approach. The work of the institution is guided by the principle of respect for all cultures, so that all human beings can understand what the museum communicates, independent of their upbringing, education, and religious beliefs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gnm.de/en/museum/about-us/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Germanisches Nationalmuseum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
