Notes
1 This merger via the Cultural Institutions Act in 1998 to form Iziko Museums was intended to drive change, undo entrenched, divisive and discriminatory policies, and bring together the museums and their diverse collections, with ongoing efforts to re-develop, re-dress and re-structure the museums’ image, staff, collections and practices.

3 These same painted wire figures were commissioned by Iziko Museums to replace the body-casts that were still part of their problematic ‘Ethnography Gallery’ in 2013 when new policies regarding the use and display of body-casts were adopted. These indigenous cultural displays have remained ‘unchanged’ bar the wire figure body substitutions in 2013, and ‘the dilemma labels’ of 1993. L.
