| Description | The paper was focused on art collectors from (seemingly) peripheral regions of Czechia (Ostrava, Liberec, Roudnice n. L.), who built their collections around 1900, and then exhibit them to the public. The analysis was zoomed in collectiong strategies, structures of the collections and ways of display. Consequently, in the 20th century, all three collections became institutionalized and exist nowadays as part of regional galleries. Important is, that as early as the beginning of the 20th century, the collections became hubs of local cultural identity and as sources of inspiration for other collectors. |
