Through their collection and exhibition practices, art museums around the world are active agents in the processes of national memory-making that silence and racialize certain individual and group identities As museums reopen in the wake of Covid19 closures and amid the global protests for social justice and racial equality, there is renewed urgency for institutions to do more than stage dominant narratives of nationhood, identity, and citizenship under the guise of detached commemorative hosts. Using visual art from the National Gallery of Canada’s permanent collection as a case study, this article applies an analytic framework to situate and explore dominant and conflicting constructions of national identity, communicated in a national museum. In doing so, it suggests that national narrative frameworks have much to offer critical approaches in the art museum that support renewed calls from scholars and activists, to upend hierarchies, multiply voices, and become bold new spaces for social advocacy and decolonization
