Museum in Progress: Decolonizing Museums | Hannah Mason-Macklin | TEDxKingLincolnBronzeville

"...and if our government can't use its power to reconcile with the Legacy and the trauma of colonialism, why not Museums? as products of colonialism as community leaders and as these trusted educational spaces that have power, I believe acknowledgment in museums can lead to social healing and ultimately social reconstruction" - Hannah Mason-Macklin

Any museum with stolen or questionable provenance objects should have free admission.. They are making money off stolen objects. Or they should return every object that has been stolen or obtained illegally. Placards addressing the issues are just a way to salve their conscience.

British museums lol

I agree. We should return afghan artifacts to Afghanistan so that they can get smashed up.

​@@Dave-bd2eoLike how America melted down samurai swords that the Japanese gave them as sign of surrender, used the material for car parts. Which is one reason, if not the only reason, there are very little existing samurai swords. Especially, a pair of them as they usually came in pairs.

I would guess employees have some privileges that guests / customers do not. That might include having a drink with you while you are on the floor for hours at a time.

What museum do you work at?
