Abstract

Globalization and the emergence of political issues in the European Union have propelled the topic of immigration into the center of the current political climate. In this contemporary context, museums that are focused on immigration are gaining more importance due to the impetus for preserving and providing visibility for the heritage of immigrants. In Paris during October 2007 the Cité nationale de l'Histoire de l'Immigration (CNHI) opened its doors but in 2013 it changed its name to Musée de l'histoire de l'immigration (MHI). The museum presents a historical and cultural approach to immigration as well as displaying contemporary works of art that deal with the theme of immigration. In this paper we will analyze how this museum is an attempt to integrate the History of immigration as a national heritage.
