Abstract
Most European ethnographie museums were founded in the colonial context and the ways objects were collected were closely related to colonialism. The situation has changed fundamentally. This article challenges us to renew our approach to the study of material culture. The modern world, where the distinction between "us" and the "other" has far from disappeared, offers museums a inspiring context for further work. Ethnographic museums are not only things of the (colonial) past; they are also things for the future.
