摘要：The author stresses the high respect that the Vietnam
Museum of Ethnology (VME) has for cultural diversity, as
seen in its approaches to the following three areas: people,
space, and time. The VME has given priority first and
foremost to the representation of everyday life – problems,
stories, and concerns of peoples and of ethnic communities.
The Museum’s role as a research and educational
institution, as well as a body that appreciates and supports
the intangible value of crafts are shown in two research
case studies: learning to make pottery in the classroom for
children, and giving voices to craft artisans in a photovoice
project. The author also addresses current challenges of
the VME, especially as it expands its research and display
policies to include the cultures and daily life of ethnic
peoples in other Southeast Asian Countries.
