APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTINGS
The Globe in a Glass Case
Ethnographic Collections in Ireland
National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks, Dublin
Friday 11 - Saturday 12 May 2007
What makes a collection 'ethnographic'? How should we
present these collections? How should a museum make
the link between the objects and the people who
crafted them? What is the future of ethnographic
collecting?
Ireland is home to a large number of ethnographic
collections and objects, both in the hands of the
state and of private collectors. Only a small
proportion of this material however is actually on
public view. This conference will try to draw
attention to this material, and has brought together
some prominent invited speakers, respected experts in
their field who represent major museums, to discuss
this material in the light of the most recent
contemporary debates about collecting and the
treatment of material heritage.
