The South Kensington Museum in context
The South Kensington Museum-now the Victoria and Albert Museum-has a complex history. Founded in 1857 as an omnibus museum of art and industry-a condensation of the Great Exhibition of 1851 in all its abundance-it had a bewildering variety of possible futures ahead of it, including failure (or existence as an adjunct to a café, as one infamous ad campaign suggested twenty years ago).2 Yet the history of the museum has generally been written teleo…

Anthropology has played a critical role in assisting with this task by identifying hidden populations, developing new methodological approaches, and targeting outreach efforts. In spite of this considerable body of ethnographic knowledge, men who have sex with oth…
