Copenhagen is sooo pretty but the racism and colonialism in the museums here makes me feel crazyyyy
#like it was like beautiful well-researched thoughtfully presented humanizing and grounded depiction of the stone age#(denmark's stone age specifically)#and then BAM absolutely contextless exotified random objects from non-european countries#like you really cant see the fucking problem here? you cant see the difference???#it broke my heart seeing beautiful pieces of art from native americans in the PNW and alaska natives presented like that#some without even a card labeling what it was#with no information about the tribe or the purpose or ANYTHING#all jumbled together with a plaque for the room that basically just said 'indians'#they clearly have no knowledge of (or desire to) engage with these cultures and artifacts in a genuine way#like i felt like i step backward in time to some kind of Exploration Age museum it made me feel insane
