• Resumen

  • Against the backdrop of a short history of the collecting of material culture documents, this paper discusses some indications for changes in public views of the function and organization of ethnographic museums. It is argued that rather than accept the need for a new paradigm, ethnographic museums should define themselves through the resources created in the past and to be created in the present and future.
