Imperium Gallery

 We are a non-profit historical art museum dedicated to the study of modern nationalism and the preservation of its cultural artifacts. Through the medium of art, we hope to educate our patrons on the history and philosophy behind early 20th century revolutionary nationalism.

Fascism can be understood as the natural evolution of romantic nationalism, identifying and embracing the unique cultural characteristics responsible for bestowing a nation with its sense of identity. The ideology of Fascism is not only malleable, but fundamentally adaptive, taking on nation-specific forms rather than being a universally applicable and generic political theory. Whether it be traditional Italian Fascism, German National Socialism or Japanese State Shintoism, each nation’s idiosyncratic conception of Fascism is advised by their respective indigenous belief systems, folklore and history to be in consonance with the local polity and to invigorate these cultural traits. Reflecting this ethos, ethnospecific symbolism feature prominently in the Fascist aesthetic. Distilled of the perceived decadent impurities of postmodernism, its art offers an unclouded view into a nation’s soul and the spiritual essence of its people.
