Indigenous museums and cultural centres have sprung up across the
developing world, and particularly in the Southwest Pacific. They
derive from a number of motives, ranging from the commercial to the
cultural political (and many combine both). A close study of this
phenomenon is not only valuable for museological practice but, as
has been argued, it may challenge our current bedrock assumptions
about the very nature and purpose of the museum. This book looks to
the future of museum practice through examining how museums have
evolved particularly in the non-western world to incorporate the
present and the future in the display of culture. Of particular
concern is the uses to which historic records are put in the
service of community development and cultural renaissance.
