Exhibiting Japanese History and Culture

Japan's first history museum—the National Museum of Japanese History (NMJH)—had its tenth anniversary only a few years ago. It is thus a comparatively new national museum, and only a segment of the public is aware of its existence. With many unique characteristics, it offers the potential of new directions for the national museum system. The article reviews the NMJH's past and present and examines the ideologies and practices relating to exhibiting Japanese history and culture.     

The Ethics of Exhibiting Salvaged Shipwrecks

Abstract The contentious relationship between cultural heritage professionals and commercial entities is nowhere more fraught than in underwater archeological sites. More and more often, museums are drawn into this conflict through hosting traveling exhibitions. This article explores the ethical issues in two shipwreck exhibitions, Shipwrecked: Tang Treasures and Monsoon Winds, and Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah from Slave Ship to Pirate Ship, and the specific responses museums have made to address the ethical issues around commercial exploitation of cultural heritage. The article calls for museums to be more thoughtful and deliberate consumers, and embrace their potential as safe venues for exploring ethical dilemmas these sites embody.

Artifact Questions: Exhibiting Thought‐Provoking Objects

A photograph in the Louisiana State Museum collection raises many questions. The image compels a viewer to ponder the circumstances associated with the creation of the portrait circa 1860, and its subsequent defacement. The piece inspired staff members to conduct a survey to assess the photograph's potential for exhibition. Survey participants interpreted the image in a variety of ways. While the majority assumed a filial relationship between the portrait's two subjects, a significant minority concluded that the picture showed a slave nanny with her White infant charge, a history that the piece's fragmented provenance supports. Most participants found the cut out face of the adult subject intriguing, and their responses suggested the power the photograph could have in an exhibition and the value of artifact questions.

Exhibiting material culture: Some thoughts on interpretation and legitimacy

Many scholars today, including some of the most influential, would argue that the effort to understand cultural operation in society, our own or that of others, is passé as an intellectual challenge. The significance of cultural operation is in the eye of the beholder, and the beholder will see what he is shown, interpreting it in the light of his own experience. Attention then focuses upon two processes: the mode of representation or favoured interpretation, and the transmission of the message, together with the projected judgements of the beholder. In museums, we have our material collections, which await interpretation. They are the content of the message, and exhibitions are the messages' transmitters. The interpretation of material culture and its transmission through displays are peculiarly the business of museum curators, and this paper intends, by analysing the exhibitions of Inuit/Eskimo art and culture which have been shown in Britain since 1970, to explore some of the ways of thinking which underlie this activity.
