What does it say about the Swedish kingdom’s colonial ambitions and desires? What questions does it raise from its present place in a display cabinet in the Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm? This book is about the tomahawk and other objects like it, acquired in colonial contact zones and displayed by Swedish elites in the seventeenth century. Its first part situates the objects in two distinct but related spaces: the expanding space of the colonial world, and the exclusive space of the Kunstkammer. The second part traces the objects’ physical and epistemological transfer from the Kunstkammer to the modern museum system. In the final part, colonial objects are considered at the centre of a heated debate over the present state of museums, and their possible futures.Visual and material culture, 1300-1700AntiquitiesArchaeological museums and collectionsSwedenImperialismART / EuropeanbisacshColonial object, materiality, colonialism, Kunstkammer, museum, decolonisation.Antiquities.Archaeological museums and collectionsImperialism.ART / European.306.409485Snickare Mårtenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut0DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996475756903316Colonial Objects in Early Modern Sweden and Beyond2845337UNISA
