Granted I haven't seen the museum, I have only read
everything I can find on it...

It seems to me that while the author of the Bloomberg
article hits on the main point of the museum, briefly
he dismisses it out of hand.  The museum is not an
anthropology museum, it isn't even a history museum,
so why should they place more importance and devote
space to historic artifacts- even of great beauty and
significance- above and before the artifacts and the
material culture of a people who still live. His
critique smacks of racism.

As for the commercial enterprises of which he speaks I
cannot comment.
