Studies & Reports 9 of 20
"With limited staff and experience, the Museum has encountered some difficulties, including the choice of approach, the identification of issues to address, finding ethnic groups to work with, and difficulties of logistics and funding. We are faced with such questions as: “how organize performances in the museum so that they are different from those at the theatre or on television, while nevertheless attracting visitors?”;“what aspects of intangible culture should be presented and how?”; “what ethnic groups should be chosen?”; “how can we help people understand the need to preserve their traditions?”; “how raise funds for these activities?”, and so on. To overcome these difficulties, our method is “learning by doing”. We train ourselves to carry out such work through study tours to foreign museums, working with museum experts and local people, and also through experimentation. We identify intangible cultural heritage which is to be preserved or reinvigorated, then work closely with local communities, prioritising the preservation and presentation of traditions that risk disappearing, and reviving those that are very important to people’s lives but have already vanished."
