Abstract

This paper argues that locality is itself a culturally constructed category which, if not critically assessed may hide the political relations existing between museums and other institutions within a specified museumscape. Frequently, museums, as in the case of British Columbia, operate at local, national and sometimes regional levels. While acknowledging the importance of studies on the poetics of museum exhibitions and display, critical museology cannot discount the political and historical contexts under which museums operate or omit analysis of the ideologies with which they are enshrouded.
