N RECENT YEARS, THE ETHNOGRAPHIC MUSEUM
of Rwanda and the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Belgium
have collaborated on rethinking the conservation of the Rwandan
cultural heritage objects contained in the collections of both institu-
tions. Prompted in part by renovations at each museum, the objective
of the collaboration is to develop conservation approaches that are
more holistic in nature—ones that consider both the tangible and
intangible aspects of the objects, and that provide a context for these
objects in the larger story of Rwandan culture.
