Hello Listers, This month I will be heading to Southeast Asia to research museums in the region. I have an academic interest in colonial and post-colonial representations of native populations in museum settings, and the role of the museum in creating national identity (as well, of course, as a love for museums in general). I have already made contact with museum professionals in a few of the following countries, but would welcome any suggestions for "must-see" collections/exhibitions either for research or pleasure. I will be visiting Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia in a span of approx. 2.5 months. Thank you in advance for your input!
