From new museum construction to the re-purposing of colonial monuments, and from essentializednarratives to spaces which encourage visitors to dream, this book explores the development and influence of national museums in three contemporary Asian societies – Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau.

Alongside thisdevelopment, many new national museums are being built or refurbished, pointing to thecritical role the telling of history plays in processes of building national identity.
