Description Museums are political institutions. In their formative period they where part of the formation of national identities. Today there is a growing political imperative to represent the diversity of Europe. Through an elaboration of the different aspects of the concept of representation, covered by the German terms vertretung, darstellung and vorstellung, the connections between aesthetics, knowledge and politics is shown. This is furthered through a reading of Jaqcues Rancière's philosophy arguing for the political power and importance of aesthetics. The political importance of distinguishing between being a representative and being a creator of representations is also stressed. Representations are thus shown to be central to politics, and museums are presented as important and powerful institutions for political representation.
