Exhibiting Colonialism: reflections on ethnographic museums
Ethnographic museums, also known as anthropological museums, contributed to the definition of ‘culture display’. This practice became very popular in the 19th-century Western world, along with the habit of classifying, categorising and institutionalising objects and identities from different cultures.
In her book Decolonizzare il museo, anthropologist Giulia Grechi asserts that the majority of ethnographic museums were born as a consequence of colonial looting, which means the collections come with a ‘dirty baggage’ of genocide, pillage, and death. Despite this, many museums decide to remain silent on the origin of their collections and do not provide a narrative that opposes the knowledge that has been constructed around their representation.
