Antiques and Adat: The Changing Face of Paka’s Mini-museum, Kampung Benuk, Penrissen, Kuching
Published By: IEAS on eSS | Published Date: January, 17 , 2006This paper is an account of recent developments at Paka's mini-museum, which
culminated in the production of English text panels for its collection in March
2005. As it turned out, working on these text panels was a deeply instructive
experience, one which shed more light on ‘native curatorship’ and the
character of the place than might have otherwise been possible. The development of the text panel project is given. An attempt to
work through some of the theoretical and ethnographic issues that arose in
the process. An exploration of these issues in relation to a broader range of
literature on both Southeast Asia and the so-called ‘non-Western’ or
‘indigenous’ museum. [Working Paper Series No. 11]. URL:[http://www.ieas.unimas.my/images/stories/lianachua.pdf].
