In this 50th edition of Made in Science, Prof. Inés de Castro – director of the Linden Museum Stuttgart and member of the University Council of the University of Stuttgart – reflects on the role of ethnological museums in a rapidly changing world.
She discusses the responsibility of institutions with colonial legacies, the importance of provenance research and restitution, and the need to foster new forms of identity and social cohesion – especially in a city where over 50% of the population has a migration background.
An insightful conversation about inclusion, transformation, and the search for “the new Stuttgart.”
