Abstract: Museums of today face the challenge of exploring and dealing with new topics such as immigration, integration and social differences.This paper argues that these new topics bring forth a new, postmodern paradigm for the museum as a contemporary institution. Exploiting concrete examples from a research project on the social development in a multi-ethnic social housing area in Greve, south of Copenhagen, the paper identifies and discusses three characteristics of the postmodern museum project: a pluralistic approach to contemporary topics, the inclusion of new user groups in constructing both the eld of research and the field of communication, and the need to be aware of the context of each statement, whether material or verbal.
