The globally self‐conscious world constructs cultural identity as one of the most compelling social and political subjects of our time. Its impact on the concept and mission of museums requires a new interdisciplinarity beyond the Western traditions of anthropology and art history. Museums now need to recognise contemporary forms of cultural diversity. To this end, this paper proposes a model of interculturality which seeks to comprehend a more internalised, contradictory, even conflictual, set of connections involved in cultural expressions of difference. In such conditions, museum work that is critical, multiply engaged and transformative must navigate a uniquely inquiring and propositional existence
