The construction of modern and contemporary art museums is one of the characteristic manifestations of a new cultural policy of the post-communist countries, the policy which embraces specific local needs and ideology as well as the influence and challenges set by the international art context. Undoubtedly national modern art museums primarily are set up to perform a traditional role – to consolidate (sometimes construct anew) their identity (ethnic and historical). On the other hand, this process also echoes an international boom of museum building and the direction of their activities towards infotainment of the consumer society.
