This article describes the history of Chile’s national museums, focusing in particular on their exhibition of indigenous cultures. Three museums are considered: the National Museum of Natural History (originally the National Museum); the National Museum of Fine Arts; and the National Museum of History. Using museum catalogues, visitor’s guides and bulletins as sources, this research traces the role given to indigenousness in the museums’ exhibitions through time. Initially, the ‘Indian’ was presented as either part of the territory conquered by Chileans, or as not part of Chilean culture at al

For every serious cultural policy, museums are the creators and guardians of cultural and national identity and the foundations of knowledge. The Museum of Natural History of Serbia, since its foundation in 1895 (as The Museum of the Serbian Country) has not received the elementary, adequate conditions for work (building, budget, staff). History of this particularly significant cultural and scientific institution is a sad example of misunderstanding and arrogance of the authorities towards national culture, science and education lasting till today.

This thesis focuses on how face-to-face interactions with scientists, during a visit to a natural history museum, can have an impact on how visitors conceptualise and identify with researchers. The study draws together the literature on attitudes to science and perceptions of scientists, whilst also focusing on identity development in individuals, using the concept of interest to study impacts on engagement. The study adopted a qualitative approach primarily involving interviews with 81 adult visitors and 38 A-level students (aged 16-18) meeting scientists in museum-based discussion events. Pa

Abstract:
To address the challenges of sampling endangered or extinct species in the field, many studies have turned to historically underutilized sources of genetic material: natural history museums. Despite the fact that DNA from specimens collected decades or even hundreds of years ago is often fragmented and degraded, research has shown that historical DNA can still be used effectively to infer phylogenetic relationships and intra-specific patterns of population genetic structure. This module aims to provide students and conservation practitioners with a solid understanding of the methodological str

Abstract:
The Global Engagement of Museums in Canada examines Canadian museum diplomacy, assessing the international activities of Canadian museums to consider the ways these institutions act as cultural diplomats on the global stage. The report presents the results of a multi-partner collaborative research project addressing the work of ten institutions, including the Art Gallery of Alberta; Aga Khan Museum; Canadian Museum of History; Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21; Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; Museum of Anthropology at UBC; National Gallery of Canada; Ottawa Art Gallery; Pointe-à-Callière
