Colonialism, empire, and inclusive global histories at the Ulster Museum

On 31 March 2022, National Museums NI launched Inclusive Global Histories at the Ulster Museum. Developed with the support of Michelle McIntyre-Brewer as Cultural Liaison, and through collaboration with local citizens and organisations, the exhibition indicates institutional commitment to decolonisation and to confronting contemporary racism. Focusing on the mid-late twentieth century, this article reviews the history of the ‘World Cultures’ collection that provides the basis for the exhibition.
