In a reflective essay, the author draws upon experiences in two ongoing projects to suggest ways in which the literatures on museum-based ethnographic collaboration might be enriched and extended. One illustrative project is a binational, multi-institutional endeavor linking six museums within a larger program of cooperation led by two national scholarly societies.

The author concludes with a call to develop frameworks for fostering partnership activities between museums of ethnography
