Under this two-part title, where the collection is immediately situated on the side of the house and the museum on the wild side, the Musée de Bagnes offers a publication that explores the theme of the private collection. In the museum field, the private collection can be considered a sort of anti-model to the professional museum collection. Due to the emotional attachment to a region or an era, the profane relationship to the object would denote too little distance to consider the assembly of a relevant corpus. This attitude would lead private amateurs rather to accumulate and hoard objects without any real concern for systematics or classification. The act of the amateur collector would constitute the dark side of the professional approach. Amateur museums are not professional sub-museums but rather institutions driven by their own dynamics (outside the framework, "wild") and their own interpretative grid that cannot be compared to scientific museums but which must be studied as an autonomous genre. The approach amounts to revealing different perspectives on the collected heritage. The various articles will shed light on the varied dimensions of the private collection.
