Abstract: Nation building is a concept that emerged in the modernization period of the Turkish Republic (T.C.) after the War of Independence. The goal is change and renewal. The construction of national identity in the republican period includes these two concepts and theoretically improves the existing and produces different approaches as well. In this context, the aim of our study is to examine the approaches used in nation building in the first years following the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, while considering the culture and art used in nation building and museum management in a conceptual framework. As a method, the literature was scanned and the information was interpreted by using the descriptive analysis method. As a result of the evaluation, it has been determined that the theories of different theorists were used in the nation identity construction process of the Republic period, but the need to develop original approaches in culture and art management in line with the needs of the Turkish Nation was implemented more successfully thanks to the leadership of a statesman like Mustafa Kemal Atatürk who knew his nation.
