I recommend these books, particularly Ames:

- Ames, Michael (1992) Cannibal Tours and Glass Boxes: the anthropology  of
museums.  Vancouver:    University of British Columbia Press.

- Clifford, James (1997) Routes: Travel and Translation in the Late
Twentieth Century.  Cambridge, MA:      Harvard University Press.

- Ivan Karp and Stephen Lavine,         eds. (1991) Exhibiting Cultures: The
Poetics and Politics of Museum Display.  Washington: Smithsonian
        Institution Press.

- George W. Stocking, Jr., ed. (1985)  Objects and Others: Essays on Museums
and     Material Culture.       Madison: Univerity of Wisconsin Press, pp.75-111.

- Simpson, Moira (1996) Making Representations: Museums in the Post-Colonial
Era.  London:   Routledge.

Hope that's of some help - best of luck!
