Deliberate Disconnections: Narratives And Display In The Palestine Archaeological Museum In The 1920s

I wrote a blog for the Museums and Galleries history Group blog competition, for which I was awarded a runner up prize.

This blog explores my PhD research on the Palestine Archaeological Museum in the Mandate era. It considers the ways in which the museum displays were used to construct historical narratives which appropriated the Palestinian past as part of British cultural patrimony, as part of a post-enlightenment and colonail ideal of ‘western civilisation’.
