This paper focuses on a series of postcolonial museums in China, Singapore, and Russia's Sakhalin. It attempts to theorize a perspective through which a museum could be brought to a fore as an object for critical inquiry. While a museum has been usually examined by a mundane and particular perspective, "transmission-reception model," within academic community, this paper holds a historical viewpoint by which a museum is subject to an integral constituent of nation-state and colonialism. Accordingly, this paper argues that a museum is saturated with syncretism in which its displays are not merely able to remain as such. The displays have to be scrutinized not as a static object, but as a performative vehicle for imminently posing within itself a possibility for social change.
