Stamatoudi, Irini, Gerstenblith, Patty, Korka, Elena & Baker, Joe
Abstract
The article critiques the concept of the "universal museum," arguing that it often justifies the removal of cultural heritage from its origin communities under the guise of public education and universal access. The discussion emphasizes the ethical and legal issues surrounding colonial-era acquisitions and advocates for a shift towards restitution and collaboration with source communities to address historical injustices.
