Very true, malkin. Or at least mainstream history is often written by dominant culture. Whoever helps determine the learning curriculum or can attract a publisher for their history version for a book that will generate revenue.
Germany's population has become more diverse..meaning more non-German blood. In last decade or more. Is it reflected in their museums?...not that ones that I went to. Maybe it's a different region of the country.
Maybe because history is being written that there hasn't been enough retrospective time to gain new insight.
Even with omissions, and tourist oriented stuff, I still enjoyed myself there.
Sorry, I'm sure museums is a yawn-inducing topic to many folks here except maybe a bike museum.
An interesting Canadian museum, Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough, Ont. I've been there and was impressed by the exhibit quality and artifacts. But no one in the photo, even suggests aboriginal heritage even in outfits.... After all, the canoe came from the aboriginal culture.
Museum has some cool Inuit sealskin, archival kayaks. So there should have been Inuit presence, visually on that pg.![]()
