Maps, colour and black and white photographic illustrations, xiii + 328pp, glossary, bibliography, index. During the half century following Malaysian independence in 1957, the country?s National Museum underwent a transformation that involved a shift from serving as a repository for displays of mounted butterflies and stuffed animals and accounts of the colonial experience to an overarching national narrative focused on culture and history. These topics are sensitive and highly disputed in Malaysia, and many of the country?s museums contest the narrative that underlies displays in the National Museum, offering alternative treatments of subjects such as Malaysia?s pre-Islamic past, the history and heritage of the Melaka sultanate, memories of the Japanese Occupation, national cultural policy, and cultural differences between the Federation?s constituent states. In Museums, History and Culture in Malaysia, Abu Talib Ahmad examines museum displays throughout the country, and uses textual analysis of museum publications along with interviews with serving and retired museum officers to evaluate changing approaches to exhibits and the tensions that they express, or sometimes create. In addition to the National Museum, he considers museums and memorials in Penang, Kedah, Perak, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Sabah, Kelantan and Terengganu, as well as memorials dedicated to national heroes (such as former Prime Ministers Tunku Abdul Rahman and Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, and film and recording artist P. Ramlee). The book offers rich and fascinating insights into differing versions of the country?s character and historical experience, and efforts to reconcile these sometimes disparate accounts.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. It is not easy being a Museum Director in Malaysia culture and history are seen as sensitive subjects, always viewed through ethnic and political lenses, and national narratives are highly contested. The post-colonial transformation of Malaysias National Museum from a general museum covering history, culture and natural history, into a more focused history museum serves as a backdrop for the study of the tensions in Malaysias national narratives as expressed in museum displays and designs.Many of Malaysias museums in fact contest the National Museums overarching narrative. This contestation can be seen in differing or changing treatments of a variety of subjects: the portrayal of Malaysia's pre-Islamic past, the history and heritage of the Melaka sultanate, memories of the Japanese Occupation, national cultural policy, and cultural differences between the Federations constituent states.This study reads selected museums and memorials in Penang, Kedah, Perak, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Sabah, Kelantan and Terengganu, as well as three memorials dedicated to national heroes (first Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman, long-time Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, and film and recording artist P. Ramlee).The book uses textual analysis and interviews with serving and retired museum bureaucrats to understand the dynamics of changing museological approaches and the tensions that they express (and engender). Museums, History and Culture in Malaysia yields a rich historiography and a fascinating insight into the ways Malaysia attempts to reconcile different national stories and visions. It is not easy being a Museum Director in Malaysia culture and history are seen as sensitive subjects, always viewed through ethnic and political lenses, and national narratives are highly contested. This study of Malaysias National Museum serves as a backdrop for the study of the tensions in Malaysias national narratives as expressed in museum displays and designs.
