Abstract

Open-air museums and museums based on the collections of Hellenistic-Roman antiquities have developed on dis­tinct trajectories; while the latter stood as the symbol of globular values based on humanism and/or Grecism, the for­mer is to be considered as a tool of building local and national identities in Europe. The earliest examples of open-air village museums dating back to the last decade of the 19th century, has set a model for the later prehistoric open-air museums. The principles governing the design of the two open-air museum types differentiated by the second half of the last century, when it became clear that each archaeological site has to be considered in its own modality. Pre­historic open-air museums, now numbering hundreds in Europe and thousands in the World presents a wide range of approaches in site management, conservation and in modes of display. Even though the present paper has cate­gorized prehistoric open-air museums under different headings, it is worth noting that each site should be conside­red as a unique case and that the solutions devised, no matter how successful, cannot be implied on others.
