Abstract: It has been the source of attraction as a sign of richness and power for people throughout history to own antiquities and exhibit them in convenient conditions. Today the yearning for such a collection, without losing its meaning as in the past and even with an increasing trend, still continues to keep its charm. Thus, this article not only focuses upon how this interest gained acceleration with the emergence of Enlightenment and Geographical discoveries during the period of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, but it also examines chronologically the history of collecting antiquities until the eighteenth century by giving examples.
