The picturesque aspects of folklore and exoticism provide the features that distinguish Us from Others. In the late 19th century, the vogue for identities could be seen in Geneva’s antique shops and at the Swiss National Exhibition in 1896.
Ethnography and its museums first developed in a context of colonisation. Swiss museums had recourse to the French, Belgian and German markets, looking for the spectacular pieces that could position a museum on the international scene.
