Comment | Are museums ‘guilt tripping’ their visitors? No, they aren’t doing enough

The article argues that museums are not doing enough to address political realities, colonial histories, and systemic oppression in their exhibitions and wall texts, contrary to critics who claim visitors feel guilt-tripped or bored by such content. The author cites the Victoria and Albert Museum's exhibition "The Great Mughals: Art, Architecture and Opulence" as a missed opportunity, noting that it privileged opulence without adequately engaging with the violent histories of colonialism, as pointed out by art historian Archishman Sarker and artist Sutapa Biswas.
