The findings underscore that thoughtful curatorial design can connect personal experiences with cultural content, resulting in profound visitor narratives. This study advocates for dynamic and inclusive museum approaches that enrich the visitor experience and support educational and cultural objectives by fostering co-creative narratives.

This participation shifted the institution's concept, curation, and conservation practices. From the second half of the 2010s onwards, other-than-human politics reshaped the participatory process. Demanding their release from the colonial captivity they were subjected to, other-than-humans challenged the conception of things-as-heritage, objects belonging to the Chilean State, and demanded de-patrimonialization, repatriation, and reburial. Making the recalcitrant image of things-as-lives apparent, other-than-humans required respect. They both stressed the museum practices that turned them into objects and brought to the fore the complexities of the colonial condition that encapsulate their lives. This paper is an ethnographic essay on what should not count as collection and how the Mapuche modes of existence exceed the Chilean heritage regime of objectification. Thus, it requires rethinking repatriation as other-than-human politics.</p>","PeriodicalId":10791,"journal":{"name":"Curator: The Museum Journal","volume":"69 2","pages":"214-224"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cura.70017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147714989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many museums aim to give their visitors an authentic experience. Now that increasingly more museums are digitizing their collection, the topic of digital authenticity has become relevant. To study how people interpret authenticity in a digital museum collection, we conducted 14 semi-structured interviews with adults from the Netherlands about the digitized collection of a Dutch natural history museum. Overall, the interviewees perceived the digital collection as less authentic than the physical collection, but the digital collection did still have authentic qualities. Participants recognized the authenticity of the digitized objects, especially if the objects were accompanied by extra information, and if the objects looked lifelike. But the essence of the object was lost in the digital collection. Participants did value the digital collection for its educational purposes. In addition, visitors' personal interest impacted how they perceived and valued the authenticity of a digitized collection. Outcomes of this study suggest that although some of the authenticity is lost, digital collections may serve an important goal of providing information and of increasing the accessibility of the collection.</p>","PeriodicalId":10791,"journal":{"name":"Curator: The Museum Journal","volume":"69 2","pages":"156-165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cura.70010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147715053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our analysis looked for how guests defined belonging, differences between institutions, and relationships with demographic backgrounds. Results showed little variation between institutions, except with culturally centered institutions. There was quite a bit of variation in guests' definitions of belonging and community. In terms of the guest experience, interaction with live staff had a positive impact on guest belonging.
