In this essay‚ I will argue that ethnographic museums privilege viewing‚ at the expense of other senses. I will further argue that by privileging the visual‚ ethnographic museums become problematic in two ways- firstly‚ by not accurately representing the cultures they are supposed to be exhibiting‚ and secondly‚ by limiting the experience of museum-goers who may be visually impaired or otherwise unable to visit museums that are purely mono-sensorial.

very beginning of the novel in Shadow’s dream where the buffalo man offers him the following advice: “Believe‚” said the rumbling voice. “If you are to survive‚ you must believe.” “Believe what?” asked Shadow. “What should I believe?”… “Everything‚” roared the buffalo man. (p. 18) This passage holds a very important significance as it captures the theme of the novel. There is a reason why it was introduced so early and not later.

In the Folk Museum The concept of belonging The Museum A museum is a place of past. A folk museum celebrates the lives and lifestyle of a bygone era. This particular ‘folk museum’ is displaying the culture and life of the early Australians. The persona feels disconnected from the experience – the almost deathly scene betrays his‚ and others‚ lack of interest. Through the use of imagery‚ the poet sets a cold‚ stale‚ dark and a silent place and this highlights the persona’s feeling of not belonging

GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM BILBAO Bilbao—today one of the top tourist destinations in Europe—was such a backwater in the 1990s that‚ according to Gehry‚ the 265‚000-square-foot museum‚ beside the Nervión River‚ went up almost unnoticed by the press.

they experience is lack luster. The Sutliff museum is full of timeless treasures‚ offering a wonderful insight to 19th century history and the underground railroad. Unfortunately‚ the current promotional material does not do the museum justice. It appears out date and doesn’t grab the attention of an audience.
