<p>This provocative book challenges frequently voiced assertions regarding museums as necessary and valued modern institutions. It raises fundamental, existential questions about contemporary museums as products of the modern colonial world order. </p><p>Drawing on practical examples of collecting and exhibiting, theoretical research, and critique from diverse countries across the globe, including Chile, India, Korea, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Palestine, Portugal, Sri Lanka, and the United States, the book moves beyond the conventional Eurocentric museological framework. The book synthesises contemporary critiques of museums, while arguing that societies need the sociocultural examinations that museums are capable of facilitating, and that radical transformations of ‘the museum’ are fraught with difficulty, but also possible and necessary. Ultimately, Coffee argues that museums can only be future orientated if they are transformed into agents of social justice and inclusion; divestors of illicit collections; and proponents of a liberatory ethic, opposing neo-colonialism in all of its forms. During that transformative process, as the book demonstrates, museum practice and museum theory must also be transformed.</p><p><i>The End of the Museum: Culture, Colonialism, and Liberation</i> will appeal to students, researchers, and practitioners interested in a critical examination of museum work and theory.</p>
