With this publication, the National Museum of World Cultures (Tropenmuseum, Afrika Museum, Museum Volkenkunde, Wereldmuseum).) With this ever evolving publication (therefore the downloadable pdf) the museums are contributing to the dialogue about the use of words in the museum world and are they in line with the social debate about whether certain words are still relevant today. The publication highlights that the description of an object sometimes has just as much meaning as the object itself. This can help to better understand why a word that has no meaning for one person is sensitive for another. WORDS MATTER offers insight and alternatives.
