Subject: article on exhibition of african objects


hi all-

i am trying to remember an article from several years ago, and am having
no luck-can anyone help?  it was about museum exhibitions, and it dealt,
at least in part, with an exhibition in which african objects were
displayed in various ways - in one room, they were shown as if in a
mussum, with vitrines and cards and in oanother room, they were shown more
as if related to actual culture.  i can't even completely remember the
different ways they were exhibited-does this ring a bell for anyone?  many
thanks, in hopeful advance, meryl zwanger
