SciCafe: Museums and Race main content.
Reserve your timed-entry tickets. Read more about health and safety.
Anthropologist Monique Scott, who specializes in studying how diverse museum visitors make meaning of race and culture in museums, particularly representations of Africa and people of African descent, leads this SciCafe. She will share her recent research about representation of Africa in museums, traditionally white institutions, and explore the tension between African objects collected as art or as artifact in some of the country’s oldest museums.
