Patterson and Seltz introduce new museums differing in subject matter‚ context and methodology‚ but sharing analogous goals.

of news about Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) drew my attention. It said that this nonprofit museum suffered decreasing investment and donation since the worldwide financial crisis in 2008; indeed‚ it lost about 18% money.

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. After outlining and discussing the problems associated
