The Whole Picture: The Colonial Story of the Art in Our Museums & Why We Need to Talk about It by Alice Procter

4.0

A really interesting read! I love a museum but this book did a great job at capturing the unease I’ve felt in a lot of museums (especially the Pitt Rivers and the British Museum) and where that comes from, and also made me think a lot more about the fact that all museums have been curated in a very certain way to make us feel or think certain things, which now seems very obvious but has made me reevaluate many a museum trip.
