This thesis aims to examine the transformation of museum and exhibition activities in the post- 1980 period in the context of the change of social memory. The dynamics which shaped collective memory in the post- 1980 period - such as the Turkish Islamic Synthesis as state discourse, the involvement of the bourgeoisie into cultural sphere, and the transformation of museum and exhibition activities under the effect of globalization and localization- will be analyzed through sample museums. Reflection of the conservative nationalist components by emphasizing the Golden Age of the Ottoman Empire in the museums and exhibition activities, the transformation of state monopolized cultural policies by the bourgeoisie through private museums, and the reflection of cultural heritage components in city museums in regard to the creation of city branding will be interpreted.
