【摘 要】Museums have sometimes been accused of limiting intercultural dialogue by emphasizing the achievements and victories of their own nation over that of others and creating negative stereotypes about different cultures. In addition, the fact that museums may contain cultural heritage that has been stolen from other cultures is a source of bad relationships between peoples. Yet, museums contain objects that can show the value of different cultures, as well as helping explain diverse ways of knowing and living, thus potentially enhancing intercultural understanding. Moreover, new strategies are being developed to try to turn museums into spaces of dialogue and collaboration, including in relation to the return of objects to their countries of origin. Drawing on a range of examples, this lecture will illustrate the problems of some forms of museum representation and practice, while primarily presenting recent approaches that seek to create positive intercultural dialogue and relationships.
