The love of the outdoors is something I can really get behind. Despite the fact that I've been living in the UK for so many years, there are still so many things in this country that continue to amaze me. Such a small place with so much to offer. Going to get my climb on in Snowdonia National Park Wales was such an interesting experience.<br />

You can really tailor a trip to so many preferences, levels of ability, and types of accommodation. Snowdonia is huge, so picking an area to stay in was pretty key unless you really don't mind driving over 40km a day to get to where you want to climb. That doesn't sound like that long of a drive, but it's probably more key for thinking about post mountain summit. Opting for the quaint country cottage in Dolgellau (largely for pub access reasons!), we settled into a nice, quiet, completely inundated by sheep weekend.<br />

The first climb was Cader Idris, a smaller climb than Snowdon in the National Park, but a popular and pretty mountain. It was a pretty standard hike/ climb and because the weather was perfect it was quite easy, just a long walk. The views were amazing from the top of Cader Idris, and the barbecue after was so much more worth it.<br />

The next day was a flatter, more foresty hike in the Coed y Brenin Forest Park. It was mostly mountain bike paths, but also provided a lot of beautiful scenery and waterfalls. It was a long walk as the park is huge, but again totally worth it.<br />

The post walk treat was one of the top rated restaurants in Dolgellau called the Y Meirionnydd, partially situated in a medieval cellar. I still can barely pronounce any of the names in Wales- such a difficult language. The food really was amazing, mostly locally sourced, really nice staff, and the owner even offered to drive us home (just showing how nice people really are in Wales)!!<br />

Wales is also known for its castles, so I'm putting photographs of this castle called Cymer Abbey up, but it was largely underwhelming. I'm sure the other castles in Wales are much more exciting.<br />

On a rare sunny English day, I did what all sane people
would do and stopped by the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (<a href="http://maa.cam.ac.uk/maa/" target="_blank">MAA</a>) while I was in Cambridge for a visit. I think what I love most about the museum
is that despite the fact that it hasn’t been open for quite a while and some major (and worth a visit!) renovations have gone on downstairs, the upstairs anthropology and
archaeology exhibitions are still in the same Victorian style they always were.</div>

There was actually a sign in the beginning of the first

that would be occurring to the historic exhibitions. I asked some

The overall feel of the museum is reminiscent of the Pitt
Rivers Museum display which is also undergoing a refresh of case
interpretation, while keeping to the similar style. One of the main benefits of
going to the MAA is the ability to really scrutinize some of the larger freestanding statues. Many show how at the time that many of these objects
were collected, the cross cultural moments were also reflected in
the materials used that intermingled with traditional craftsmanship.</div>

There are also quite a few hidden treasures that demand you

really like the children’s games and dolls in the Canadian case. The female

When I visited the sculptor Alison Wilding’s works had just
gone up in the Duveen galleries, and it was very interesting. She focuses on
bringing different materials together and because of the natural light in the
hall, contrasts of the materials, shadows, and colours were highlighted.</div>

The <i>Painting Now</i>
exhibition was also on and was a little different than the retrospective shows I’m
used to seeing at Tate. Instead of focusing on the historic progression of one
painter, it examined the work of five contemporary artists and what painting
means today.</div>

A little delayed for 2014, but I’m finally catching up on
some of the blogging I’ve been meaning to do. As usual during my travels in Athens,
I have so much Greek food that I love and miss when I’m away. When I was in
Athens earlier this year I had a few old favourites and some new culinary
experiences.<o:p></o:p></div>

On arrival, I finally had a chance to take part of the
Vasilopita cake cutting. The cake technically is meant for New Years Day to
celebrate Saint Vasili. There’s a coin placed in the lemony sponge cake batter,
and whoever gets the slice with a coin in it will have a New Year with lots of
luck. I had a piece of cake with my family- no coin. I also had another piece
at my cousin’s business anniversary party- again no coin. On the positive side,
I ate a whole lot of cake symbolising life, liberty, and happiness, so that’s
working out.<o:p></o:p></div>

I also restablished my love of late night food after a long
Greek night out at my favourite crepe place. Just on Kifissias Avenue and on
the way home, savoury crepes might be my very favourite post party food. I
really wish there were a few more late night choices in the UK as well.</div>

The best place I ate during my trip was Dionysos, a
restaurant directly in view of the Acropolis. Anywhere you eat while looking
upon the Acropolis is pretty magical, but this restaurant was very special.<o:p></o:p></div>

During my ongoing sojourn in the North, I have been discovering
many little gems dotted around the lovely countryside. Just last week I was in
freezing <st1:city w:st="on">Perth</st1:city>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Scotland</st1:country-region>
to go through some of their ethnography collections with the curators of the
National Museums Scotland in <st1:city w:st="on">Edinburgh</st1:city>.
There is a Pacific Collections Review being conducted in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Scotland</st1:country-region> (<a href="http://pacificcollectionsreview.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">http://pacificcollectionsreview.wordpress.com/</a>) with headquarters at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">National Museums</st1:city> <st1:country-region w:st="on">Scotland</st1:country-region></st1:place>, and they are looking at collections all over the Scottish
countryside. Eve Haddow is the Pacific Review Curator conducting this research and because of my work with
Maori collections over the years, she invited me to see what new things we
could explore in Perth.</div>

I can’t claim to be such a Maori object expert that when I
see objects I can name their age, origin, and back story, but one day... I do look at Maori objects and see nothing but an amazing story,
ancestral heritage, and interesting exchange/gift/removal history that I want
to delve into.</div>

A lot of the collections amassed in <st1:city w:st="on">Perth</st1:city> were brought into the museum through
the Perth Literary and Antiquarian Society members. The Society was established
in 1784 and collected more than Scottish antiquities to include natural history
and world ethnography. The most significant early objects were given by David
Ramsay (1794-1860) and there were also later donations of Pacific material from J.H Dixon in 1917, A. Wilson in
1940, and L. Woodward in the 1950s.</div>

Some of the Perth objects are described as ‘unfinished’, which is
an issue I find amazingly interesting for Maori objects. If something was
actually unfinished, what does that say about the relationship of the
giver/carver to the person receiving the object?</div>

Obviously many exchanges of goods were to art dealers who
sold Maori objects on to collectors, and several of these exchanges are interesting because of the extent to which objects don't look like typical Maori objects. Sometimes European materials were added to objects by Maori and art dealers alike, but in particular one piece in Perth seemed to be changed to a much further extent than usual. The Ramsay staff or <i>taiaha </i>below has traces of
feathers, hair labelled human hair when usually the white dog hair was included, but there is
also an under layer of red cloth and newspaper(?). Definitely intriguing.
I’d love to know about other examples like this.</div>

This time around the topic of the display is Indigenous
Australian material culture and politics. It has been much more fun working
with Oceanic art and topics again as opposed to being slightly outside of my

<div class="MsoNormal">
Along with dealing with the actual objects, I have had to
really sit down and think about the story line and interpretation that is
available with the objects we have in the collection and what is appropriate
to display. Several of the objects in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Great</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">North</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype w:st="on">Museum</st1:placetype></st1:place> collections were
at one point deemed inappropriate for viewing because they were sacred objects. Some were also
deemed inappropriate to be seen by women. There have been a lot of issues with
the restriction and regulation of Indigenous Australian collections over the
years and the GNM collection is no different.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That is one of the major challenges of working with not just
indigenous cultural material, but also with indigenous group rights who live in the settler
nations of Australia, America, New Zealand, and Canada. Telling a story through historic objects can trap a living group
in the ethnographic past, when you want to express a long cultural history, but also a
thriving and continuing culture. If you’re in the Northeast the Australian display will go up
in the King’s Gate building of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Newcastle</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype></st1:place> on the 29th November and is open to

The elephant is made of flip flops that have been recycled
as part of a local grassroots initiative in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Kenya</st1:country-region>. The organisation works to educate and innovate, while providing sustainable ecological solutions for the country. Flip flops and plastics are one of the major pollutants of the <st1:place w:st="on">Indian Ocean</st1:place>.
Now Ocean Sole recycles around 400,000 flip flops a year and creates artistic
opportunities while providing jobs in <st1:city w:st="on">Nairobi</st1:city>

As a new addition to the World Collections, we decided to
display Philippe the elephant in the Living Plant Gallery of the GNM, because
it is a gallery that children often see when they first walk in. It is also
directly below the World Cultures gallery upstairs, with other pieces from <st1:country-region w:st="on">Kenya</st1:country-region> on
display. The interpretation of the elephant was also intended for younger
audiences and family. The Project Coordinator for the Stories of
the World Project brilliantly offered the chance to give feedback, especially
from children, to inform the future interpretation of the object.</div>

The idea is to ask a changing question to audiences and
allow them to leave their responses to shape future interpretation of the elephant. The first question was,
‘How do you think Philippe feels about travelling from <st1:country-region w:st="on">Kenya</st1:country-region> to the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Great</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">North</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype w:st="on">Museum</st1:placetype></st1:place>?’ So far the
responses have been quite humorous and sweet.</div>

<span lang="EN-GB">I like to think I have a good sense of
direction. I can find my way around cities, read maps, and I generally always
know where I am. But some places are just way beyond my reach. The souk, or the
open-air marketplace, in Marrakech is my worst nightmare. I loved all the amazing
visuals of the place, but I was like a mouse in a maze. And after three days of
navigation I was still helpless in the unavoidable souk in the middle of town.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Needless to say I gave up on any navigation
duties inside the souk, but the streets of the town itself were reasonable
enough to navigate. Within minutes of walking around on my first day in Marrakech
I bought an African mask - couldn’t help myself.</div>

every variety of leather good, lamps, ‘magic’ boxes, jewellery, knock off
designer wear, and every spice under the sun, and the sales pitches began with

what it should be selling for, and that’s being kind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">I’m not actually a huge shopper when I go
abroad unless it’s at an outlet mall in the States, but buying tat from dusty
street stalls is definitely pretty low on my list of things to do. I did get
into the spirit of bargaining and shopping vicariously through the purchases my friend made.
Without worrying about it I made some pretty audacious price cuts in my
bargaining and didn’t budge since it wasn’t for me anyway. Most of the price
demands stuck, which felt pretty rewarding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Marrakech just feels really full on at all
times. Moments when all you want is a cold beer and a bit of relaxation, you
suddenly realize how difficult it can be to find a drink and don’t dare get
lost. Get lost looking like a tourist, and suddenly someone is kindly offering
to direct you and then immediately shaking you down for a rather large tip. I refused
to bargain on that one as well, which led to some colorful disputes. The majority of people we met and talked to were relatively nice though, and we did
have some genuine chats that didn’t end in people asking for compensation.</div>

Everyone needs a little sun once the UK starts to turn back to its normal state of grey and gloom. A quick trip to Marrakech sorted my need for sun and warmth right out. I actually went to Morocco last year as well, but went to the seaside village of Taghazout for sun, surfing, and yoga...my most super yuppie venture to date. I don't normally just travel places for full on holiday relaxation, so I did feel quite guilty about just staying within 5 km of my hotel, and seeing little else of Morocco than the waves.<br />
<br />
On my return to Morocco this time, I stayed in a 'traditional' riad in Marrakech in a riad chain owned by the Lotus Group. On the very first night though, the room wasn't ready and instead we were offered a stay in another Lotus riad, the Infinity. The owner and his sister greeted us and were both really lovely. It almost convinced me that I should stay there the next time.<br />

The settings on the inside are a complete contrast to the outside setting of the Medina at night. Inside the walls of the riad, the courtyard seemed like some sort of spa relaxation area except that was the whole place. Marble floors, fountains, flowy curtains, African masks displayed very museum-like... I was really loving it.<br />

Then on to dinner at the actual riad that we would be staying at for the next few nights, the Riad Lotus Privilege. It was even bigger and grander than anyone could ever expect. Especially considering that you take twists and turns down an alley that makes you worry for your safety, and suddenly you enter the door and are surrounded by opulence.<br />

After a pretty amazing night and what felt like a full day of travel, a lovely rest at the Riad Inifinity was all I wanted. Somehow I didn't sleep that well though and suddenly it was 4 a.m. or whatever a.m. middle of the night and the beautiful for the first 5 minutes, terrible after another 10 minutes morning prayer began and I never got back to sleep again. All part of the cultural experience I guess. More to come...</div>

A few weekends ago in <st1:city w:st="on">London</st1:city>
a friend of mine had the idea to go to a pop-up dinner in <st1:place w:st="on">East
London</st1:place>. I hadn’t heard of Ronnie Saunders Diners Union (<a href="http://dinersunion.co.uk/">http://dinersunion.co.uk/</a>) before, but it
was a really fun dining experience and really delicious food. Everyone pays £15
and it’s b.y.o.b. The venture is also supporting St. Mungo’s Trust where
proceeds go towards helping the homeless and give them actual kitchen training
and experience.</div>

There is also quite a party atmosphere in the heated tent
off <st1:street w:st="on">Rivington Street</st1:street>,
with a live band playing and long shared bench style seating. The courses of
the night were ‘smørrebrød’, herring with pickles (which I also had on the
street in <st1:place w:st="on">Amsterdam</st1:place>),
ox bavette with artichokes and roasted garlic (amazing!) and a side dish of
Rødkål, which was pickled grapefruit flavoured cabbage. The dessert was really
my favourite dish despite all of the dishes being really unforgettable. It was
a simple apple and almond sponge cake, but it was the perfect amount of sweet
and light wonderfulness.</div>

<span lang="EN-GB">The arts and sciences have long been paired together in the museum and share quite similar qualities of promoting distinctive
and thoughtful ideas. Artists have been inspired by science and technology, and
scientific design has taken point from artistic innovation as well. The
sciences and arts have their own significances and are both part of the legacy
of humankind.</span></div>

There seems to be a trend and an increase in
science and art collaborations in the museum world. The recent British Science Festival
taking place in Newcastle is just one event/ display that exemplifies this
trend (<a href="http://calianthropologygirl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/cag-on-museums-british-science-festival.html" target="_blank">Link to previous post</a>). The links between art, conservation and preservation sciences have always been understood as given behind-the-scenes work, but now the interest in displaying the science behind art has picked up pace.</div>

<span lang="EN-GB">On 21 September 2013 the launch of the Media Space area displaying photography and art at the Science Museum London supplies another significant link and correlation between science and art. At
the Science Museum, Vivienne Westwood gave a speech where she was quoted as
saying, ‘there are basically two types of people in the world and the thing
about great artists and great scientists is that they have great imagination –
they can see the world differently’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Coming soon to the Whangarei Art Museum in
New Zealand, the exhibition ‘Salon to Marae: First glimmerings of a Maori
Modernism’ will display art of the late Selwyn Wilson and highlight the
scientific conservation that has occurred to bring these dilapidated works back
to a high standard of display. Selwyn Wilson was one of the first Maoris to
graduate from Elam School of Fine Arts. His 14 paintings and drawings were in
an extremely poor state and will be shown for the first time since 1951. The
exhibition will also display paintings by Ralph Hotere, Dame Katerina Mataira,
Muru Walters, and Arnold Manaaki Wilson as artists considered early Maori
Modernists. The exhibition will also showcase the integral relationship between science and
the arts that allowed these Selwyn Wilson paintings come back to life. ‘Salon
to Marae’ opens November 11 at the Whangarei Art Museum.</span></div>

around my feet. I mostly attempted to choose interesting objects from the ethnography collection, but also rather hearty ones to stand the playroom nature of this gallery particularly.</div>

Although the Mouse House space is mainly geared for child
learning, it is a requirement that all children be accompanied by their parents
and in that sense it is also important that museum learning for younger
children also accommodates families as a whole. This can be as simple as
providing a space where families are invited and welcome, providing interesting
things to start conversations, and providing self-led and staff-led learning.
There are a lot of factors of course that can aid or hinder family learning,
but figuring out these issues has become an impetus of the museum learning
programmes.</div>

The British Science Festival is taking
place in Newcastle this year and is a celebration of science, engineering and
technology. The festival travels to different UK cities every year and offers
an array of activities to get the public involved and interested in science. There are so many things going on for the
festival, but so far I’ve been concentrating on some of the more artistic
displays of art, technology, and science.</div>

I attended the artist talk and opening of
Jennifer Allinson’s body armour sculpture show. During her talk she explained

It’s been quite a while since I wrote a
blog update, but it’s really been a very full on couple of weeks in the museum
world for me. One of the more fun breaks I had included my normal pilgrimage to
the Notting Hill Carnival in West London.
When I lived in London, I resided in Notting Hill and Ladbroke Grove for
about 5 years partially because in the first year when I moved to London I
happened upon the street festival completely by accident and immediately loved it. I had never heard anything about the carnival before despite it being the
second largest street festival after Rio de Janeiro.</div>

<span lang="EN-GB">The first carnival called ‘Caribbean
Carnival’ was held in St. Pancras Town Hall and organised by Claudia Jones, a
Trinidadian journalist who intended to hold carnival as a way to mend some the
recent racial tensions on 30 January 1959. In 1966, carnival was held as a
school children’s street party that was intended to celebrate the diversity of
the Notting Hill community. A steel drum band led by Russell Henderson also
joined the parade and walked around the neighbourhood playing. By 1976, the
Caribbean element of the carnival was solidified. There were still riots
between police and young Caribbean community members. Carnival has continued on
the Sunday and Monday of August bank holiday for years, and has maintained its
West Indian roots.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">This is probably just a tourist’s point of
view, but a few weekends ago I partook in a little snippet of what a more
normal Dutch life would be like if I lived in Amsterdam. I left for the weekend
and stayed a little further out from the center in an area called De Pijp.
Recently named one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world by Stylist
magazine (a renowned and reliable source), and I believe this is true.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Then off to the Rijksmuseum which hasn’t
been open any time I’ve visited Amsterdam since I moved to Europe. I also
previewed the famous Rembrandt ‘The Night Watch’ painting before I visited by
watching the flashmob staged by the museum on youtube to mark its re-opening. It is really fun to watch (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6W2ZMpsxhg">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6W2ZMpsxhg</a>).</div>

The museum was really beautiful. Both the
architecture and the artworks were really engaging, and I haven’t been in a
museum as busy since I went to the Louvre in Paris years ago. Not really worth
fighting the crowds to take a photo of ‘The Night Watch’ when there were some
much more serene galleries to take in the art and ambiance.</div>

And then on to another night out in De
Pijp, with all the other cool Dutch people. Most of the bars are all located
within a few minutes walk of each other, but they all have very different
feels, and most importantly different Belgian beers. It’s really lucky that
England is so close to such a fun and beautiful city.<br />

Part cultural heritage centre, part museum, and part centre for
social and cultural activities in the <st1:place w:st="on">South Tyneside</st1:place>
area, Bede’s World offers a full day of exploration, history, and outdoor
activities to its visitors. In recent years Bede’s World has been under severe
financial stress and is currently in the process of rebranding itself. In the
process, the museum is looking at re-interpreting its galleries, learning
programmes, and the way the story of Jarrow and its famous monastic scholar the
Venerable Bede is told.</div>

Bede was born in AD 673 at a time when the area of Jarrow was
a maritime hub and also the only centre of learning north of <st1:city w:st="on">Rome</st1:city>. Bede translated the Gospel of John into
Old English, but was also one of the first people to come around to the idea of
a united <st1:country-region w:st="on">England</st1:country-region>
and Englishness as a unified identity for people on the island from many
different places. This issue continues to be relevant to the politics of the <st1:place w:st="on">British Isles</st1:place> today, and thoughts on a multicultural British
identity seem to reflect the same concerns as people had in the 7<sup>th</sup>
Century AD. Bede used his faith to broker a relationship between the arts,
poetry, and the local community, which deeply relates the idea behind the
Bede’s World current community work.</div>

Bede’s World also works heavily with community outreach social
and artistic programming by giving artists work spaces through a co-operative
agreement, and many of these artists participate in community programmes giving
local people the opportunity to engage directly with art. Alongside Bede’s
growing cultural ties to the local community it hosts HIVE, a community radio
station that allows people to get involved in presenting and research on a
broad range of heritage topics.</div>

Overall, my Bede’s World experience helped me learn a lot
about the history of the Northeast, but also gave me a really good background for
seeing the kind of work that museums can really do with local communities if
everyone is motivated enough. I think that since Bede’s World is working
outside of the restrictions of an overarching museum service and is able to
carve its own path out for redevelopment and renewal, it is getting the
opportunity to redefine the kinds of relationships and activities that local
museums should be working towards. A big thank you to Museum Director Mike Benson for a wonderful and exuberant tour of the museum!</div>

At Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens, there is currently a display on called ‘Community in Clay’ that showcases
the work of mixed media artist Chris McHugh. McHugh is a doctoral candidate at
Sunderland University with a background in archaeology. He has spent the past
years researching historic pottery, Sunderland Museum and collection histories,
and has also worked in Japan studying the George Brown collection in Osaka (<a href="http://communityinclay.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/community-in-clay-exhibition-of-ceramic.html">http://communityinclay.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/community-in-clay-exhibition-of-ceramic.html</a>).</div>

<span lang="EN-GB">The vessels McHugh has created artistically respond
to the Solomon Islands lime containers from the Brown collection. The
decoration on the vessels echoes the original decoration found on the lime containers
in Japan while also referencing the importance of ceramic vessels in 19<sup>th</sup>
century Sunderland. McHugh reflects that Sunderland ‘was a busy port and pots
bearing maritime imagery are common’. The time that George Brown set off to
explore the Pacific in the 19<sup>th</sup> century was the same time in which
the Northeast was a thriving maritime centre. While explorers were discovering
new places (to the Western world) and collecting objects to memorialize their experiences, the prosperity of the Northeast influenced the production of a material
culture that embodied the wonder and fascination of a world increasingly connected through industry, trade, and colonization. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">The connections drawn between collectors,
artistry, and heritage of the </span>Northeast are celebrated in McHugh’s work, and such
interactions between artists and the museum are very timely. Several large collaborative artist exhibitions outside of art museums have brought new audiences to cultural institutions and new
awareness to a variety of subjects. Re-thinking ethnography collections from an
artistic point of view becomes an interesting way of thinking about the
intersections between museum history and art, but also imbues objects with an extra layer of history.</div>

The George Brown Collection was accumulated through the
efforts of Reverend Doctor George Brown. Brown migrated from England to New Zealand in 1855,
not originally as a missionary, but he was converted and worked across the
Pacific in Samoa, Fiji, New Britain, and New Ireland. Brown was knowledgeable about the customs,
people, and languages of the islands he had worked on as a Wesleyan Methodist
missionary for over 48 years, and in that time he also amassed a very important
collection of diverse objects. After Brown passed away in 1917, a large portion of his
collection was housed in his hometown of Durham and purchased by the Bowes
Museum at Barnard Castle as a teaching collection. Then acquired by Newcastle
University, and not the Natural History Society of Northumbria who owns most
other ethnographic collections in the Hancock Museum, curatorial staff helped
with the George Brown collection management and in 1974 a few objects were on
display.</div>

In 1985 the George Brown Collection was purchased by the
National Museum of Ethnology at Osaka, Japan for £600,000 with the exception
of some objects that were individually valued at over £16,000 and could not be
granted export permits. There were strong objections to sale of such an
important collection of Pacific objects from the curators at the museum and
anthropologists elsewhere. The Hancock Museum gained an unfortunate reputation
and the sale by Newcastle University was criticized for its ‘display of naked
philistinism on the part of an otherwise respected university’. Indeed, the collection was deemed by the university as a
disposable duplicate collection of sorts with several examples and similar types
of objects already existing in the other ethnography collections.</div>

The debates about the sale occurred not only in England and
Japan, but also across the Pacific about issues of museum ownership, national
pride, and issues of depleting cultural resources from newly decolonized
countries. Many debates were sparked across museum curator networks and
collections management professionals about whether museum collections are disposable assets, what are trustee obligations to protecting collections, and
what is the benefit to a collection in storage without access readily available
to it, alongside many other issues.</div>

Twenty-seven years later these debates still occur in the
museum realm and at times ideals of museum collection and object retention seem
harder to defend than ever. It costs money, takes a lot of time, and space to
only work with a policy of museum retention. With the current state of play,
arts budgets in the UK have been cut, employees made redundant, and many
museums run mainly on volunteer based help, youth schemes, and short-term
contracts. Changes to circumstances, the social makeup of cities, and attitudes mean that disposing of collections in the present can later be a regrettable decision. Art museums especially in America, have long sold artworks in order to purchase new and prestigious works, but there is little parallel to the situation of ethnographic collections in the UK. The Code of Ethics of the American Association of Museums also has a de-accessioning policy that permits the practice in terms of care of the collections, but not for operational costs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What about the idea of museums as research institutions? Although
admittedly serving a smaller community of academics, researchers, and descendants
who use collections as a keys to family histories, the benefit of holding on to
collections to operate as research institutions must present a valid part of
the museum mission. For national and regional UK museums, collections represent heritage held in trust for the benefit of the public. I’m not opposed to letting go of any collections at all,
but I would argue that it is very difficult to know enough about individual
objects, let alone entire collections, to put a definite values on them that
will account for their loss to local communities, researchers, and museum audiences
in the present and future.</div>

adventure started after work last Friday, with a lovely train journey up to
Glasgow to start my Western Highland experience. Since I arrived pretty late, my
lovely hostess with the mostess made dinner and we headed out to experience Glasgow
nightlife. First stop was a proper old man-like pub serving ales and local
attitude. Then we went on to a really amazing bar that used to be a church
called Òran Mór.</div>

After you get past Loch Lomond and the Trussachs National

a rather steep incline, but is also just another excuse to take some time to

Because of my insane love of seafood, the fact that the
original Loch Fyne Restaurant was so close certainly created a must-stop-by situtaion. I will
never forget those delicious scallops or the best salmon fishcake of all time.
Possibly also the healthiest meal I had in Scotland (ignore pool of butter), since the other meals consisted
of full Scottish breakfasts and ‘fish suppers’… AKA fish and chips.<o:p></o:p></div>

To walk off lunch, the next stop was Tayvallich and a lovely
little walk around the point, which was a mix of heather, sharp volcanic rock,
and lots of wet wet soil. I did really enjoy the walk and even saw a seal, but I
definitely underestimated my little visit to church in Glasgow the night before, and I was
very ready to take a seat by the time I got back.</div>

continued up the mountain, but those clouds kept lifting and fooling me into temporarily pushing on.</div>

There’s nothing I like more than a little fashion and
cultural history mixed together, and a wee stop to Kinloch Anderson in
Leith really taught me a few things about the iconic Scottish kilt. The museum
is located in the store and is very small, but encompasses some interesting tidbits of history
and has a viewing window so that you can actually watch the kilt-makers create their handmade kilts.</div>

I found out that kilts actually did not come into
popularity until around the 16<sup>th</sup> century. For a brief period of
time the checked tartans were outlawed between 1745 and 1782 in an attempt to
break up the Highland Clan system, but when George IV visited Edinburgh in 1822
the pageantry of chiefs wearing their tartans for the King reignited their popularity and iconic cultural connections.
This prompted families who did not have a clan tartan to want one of their own, and the tartan become a symbol of kinship and
belonging for Scots.</div>

Typically there was a royal and a hunting tartan, which a tailor in the shop explained was really just to get a bit more variety in dress. Members of the Royal Family wear different varieties of the
Scottish tartan as well. For the Royal Family many
different tartans have been designed for them by Kinloch Anderson over the
years. Because of their early connections to the Royal Stuarts (Stewarts) and
Mary Queen of Scots, the Royals wear a variety of Stewart and Balmoral tartans.</div>

One of the key questions of the Future of Ethnographic
Museums Conference circulated around how museums created at the height of the
‘museum age’ could be reconfigured to engage with new audiences and respond to
changes in a globalized twenty-first century world. The conference was very
academic and included curators, researchers, and museum professionals and therefore the
discussions were driven by individuals with definite gravitas and influence in
the museum world. There were many interesting points brought up in a rather
philosophical reflection on the ‘future’ of ethnographic museums, spoken about
particularly in terms of what is presently going on at museums around the world.</div>

The conference started off with the anthropology star James
Clifford (!), who began proceedings with the keynote lecture. Clifford’s talk
generally spoke about ethnographic museums in a fraught relationship with cultural
communities in the era of globalization, using the Museum of Anthropology (MOA)
at UBC Vancouver as an example. MOA has come under fire by many cultures of the
area who have taken up arguments over not wanting to be associated with museum
because of the word anthropology. The word itself has been too connected to
colonialist intentions and an antiquated view of cultures. Clifford also
mentioned how the word ethnology, which was used to characterize collecting and
the comparison of cultures has become completely defunct.</div>

There were other very interesting points made in the
conference and very thought provoking talks, but I will summarize just a few of
the things that have really stuck with me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Sharon Macdonald spoke about the <a href="http://sbs-humboldtforum.de/en/Berlin-Palace/" target="_blank">Humboldt Forum</a> in <st1:state w:st="on">Berlin</st1:state> and the intention to move the ethnographic collections
to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Museum</st1:placetype> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Island</st1:placetype></st1:place>, which Clifford also used as a
point of comparison the previous night. Macdonald’s paper compared different
approaches to citizenship, nationality, and issues of multiculturalism that
have threatened museums through various political agendas. Both she and later
Wayne Modest talked about museums shying away from difficult histories and some
countries wanting to steer away from telling colonial histories at all, which
prompted the attempt to close down the Tropenmuseum in <st1:city w:st="on">Amsterdam</st1:city>. These trends outline a difficult
phase for memory connected to ethnographic collections, or as Modest suggested, an active ignorance- referring to Ann
Stoler’s concept of cultural aphasia as “the ‘inability to recognize things in
the world and assign proper names to them’, especially in matters relating to
the colonial past in Western societies”. Also very interesting in the
discussion of these presentations, was the point that it is often difficult even for
museum professionals to articulate to politicians and those adverse to
ethnographic collections, what exactly the importance of collections are and
why you can’t disregard even their more difficult national stories.</div>

Another really interesting point was brought about by Clare
Harris’s talk on the digitally distributed museum and issues of using <i><a href="http://tibet.prm.ox.ac.uk/" target="_blank">The <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Tibet</st1:country-region></st1:place> Album</a></i>,<i> </i>and community reactions to the release
of photographs onto the internet. The project has created a digital archive of
British photography in <st1:place w:st="on">Tibet</st1:place>
from 1920-1950. The question of who uses these images and issues of freely
circulated information on the internet is an interesting point. I’ve long
wondered myself if historic photographs, or significant cultural objects are
appropriate for release onto the internet. I think in terms of ethnographic
material there will always be specific communities within a group or perhaps
even individuals who do not want images of their ancestors or ancestral objects
visible for the world to see on the internet. What kind of digital forums could
encompass the concept of digital repatriation (although a difficult concept in
my opinion), but maintain the knowledge that communities might want to keep
restricted to themselves and made available only to them? If using the internet for
digital exhibitions, social media to spread information, and online databases
as the repository of museum metadata has been a major part of twentieth century
museum practice, is there a step beyond for how museums can communicate to
particular communities digitally in the twenty-first century?</div>

I also took some time to reminisce about my university days and get around <st1:city w:st="on">Oxford</st1:city>, so the photos are
from some of those moments.</div>

Being excited for a conference is not my normal state of mind about
extra-curricular academic work/networking, but when a conference is
specifically about ethnography museums and their future I am heavily invested
and deeply interested in all of the discussions and debates that might come up.
I have very recently been told that ‘ethnographers are a dying breed’ and
sometimes it does seem like this is true. On the other hand, with an increasing amount of students
taking part in postgraduate courses in the UK related to Museum Studies, Museum
Anthropology and Visual Culture Studies, there is certainly not a dying
interest in ethnography and studying cultural anthropology in the museum in any
way, but with government cuts to arts funding, there are certainly many fewer positions
available in museums.</div>

The upcoming conference on '<a href="http://www.prm.ox.ac.uk/PRMconference_details.html" target="_blank">The Future of Ethnographic Museums</a>' taking place 19-21 July 2013 at the Oxford University Pitt Rivers Museum intends to cover
questions that have been raised about the modernity of ethnographic museums and
whether new audiences can be attracted or not. Alongside the seeming decline in the promotion of ethnographic collections and their specialists, there is also the age
old criticism of ethnography museums perpetuating a distinction between “us”
and “them”, a fraught history of collecting, and the lack of 21<sup>st</sup>
century interpretation of cultural material.</div>

and World Cultures (EMWC): A European Project is funded by the European Commission

museums about their global role in contemporary society. Many
museums have reacted to criticisms and have been self-reflective about their
practice for many years. Museums in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia</st1:country-region> have endeavoured to
include Indigenous Australian interests in collections interpretation and
displays. Many museums such as <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Manchester</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype w:st="on">Museum</st1:placetype></st1:place> have employed

The Pitt Rivers 'Future of Ethnographic Museums' conference is the last in the series of EMWC workshops, conferences, and
conversations that aim to “to stimulate debate about ethnographic museums in
the post-colonial period and to envision new ways of thinking and working
in those museums in the future.” I’m very interested to see the kinds of debates and
discussions that are sparked by this conference, and hope that there will be a
lot of examples of how these museum professionals are adapting their practice with
ethnographic collections today.</div>

<span lang="EN-GB">While making the new records for a recent
acquisition of 14 objects collected from various regions of Papua New Guinea
objects in the 1960s, some of the finer issues of metadata collection have
been brought to my attention. By metadata, I mean the ‘structured data about
data’ that is compiled in a computer and paper database about the objects that
a museum holds. Some of the recent acquisition objects have been used for hunting or other
purposes, and some are tourist arts. Museums document collections to help with
research, curate exhibitions, develop education programs, and generally to share information
about collections. Documentation work is what a few of my colleagues
refer to as ‘the boring part of museum work.’<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">It’s not really boring, but it is the less
glamorous part of the whole museum gig. Acquiring objects in my opinion is a
really important part of the life of the museum collection. Collections aren’t
meant to be stagnant in time and representative of an idea of the past. Especially
for ethnographic collections, representing cultures not normally represented in
the ethnographic present means continuing to build collections from the recent
past and present is very important to the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">The partial benefit of acquiring new
objects now is that most museums have very high standards of information
acquisition alongside these objects or art pieces. That means that in the
future there will hopefully be a lot more metadata connected to the databases
in which we document collections, but it also means there are so many more
issues of documenting collections.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">*Just some thoughts I’ve had while
documenting (ethnographic) collections:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">-The need for a consistency of terminology
structure so that in the present and future users of the database may find the
data they are looking for<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">-Will the information on the database be
linked to the web for public searches and what does that mean</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">-Collection management works best when
issues of access, use, and the rights to objects are put on a database directly at acquisition because chasing copyright permissions and doing paperwork IS actually boring<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">-And very importantly for ethnographic
objects, the cultural groupings, language groups, and boundaries that we categorize
information into for cultural objects might not always be so easy to restrict within specific
terminology for the database- how do you create levels of metadata that might be useful for descendants, researchers, museum colleagues, and general audiences<o:p></o:p></span></div>
