Abstract

A response by Josephine M. Rasmussen and Vibeke M. Viestad to a commentary on their article "Curation by the Living Dead: Exploring the Legacy of Norwegian Museums' Colonial Collections", is presented. They note the attempts of the Museum of Cultural History to revise their exhibition practices of objects taken from Congo to Norway during the reign of King Leopold II and by Kon-Tiki Museum to repatriate collections taken from Indigenous people during Thor Heyerdahl's scientific expeditions.
