In my opinion (admittedly somewhat biased since this is my museum!), a new permanent exhibit at the National Museum of Natural History called African Voices does a very good job of presenting the views of the museum scholars involved in producing it and also the peoples being represented. A variety of "voices" are represented in this exhibit and many Western and non-Western people were either consulted or were directly involved in the planning. Throughout the exhibit African people speak to the exhibit-goer in the form of videos and recordings. You can judge for yourself by checking out the associated website: www.mnh.si.edu/africanvoices/ For a small fee you can read a long review of this exhibit done by Jacqueline Trescott of the Washington Post. Go to www.washingtonpost.com and search the Archives for the article "Myriad Voices from an Unsung Continent." ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
