| Description | The concept of identity appears in many forms in connection with the environment of collecting. And not only in the common discussion between collectors but many times also in the professional environment of researchers and professionals. The problem with the exact determination of this relationship often lies primarily in the unclear definition of the concept of identity, which during historical development was mostly clarified only very slowly and partially. The problem becomes even more complicated when we realise that the concept of identity includes a multi-meaning designation that refers not only to ourselves as individuals, but also to other objects and even groups. The goal of this paper is to clarify, at least in part, the relationship between an identity and collecting activities on the example of the Slovak National Gallery and its connection with Slovak society |
