From field to museum

Taking objects out of their original context and exhibiting them in a museum gives them a new meaning. They used to be utilitarian or religious, status symbols or hunting weapons and they become storytellers with a new aim, that of giving museum goers access to knowledge of ethnic groups living elsewhere and otherwise.
