In this thought-provoking interview series from the RSA, Matthew Taylor, puts a range of leading thinkers on the spot - from writers to business leaders, politicians to journalists - by asking for big ideas to help build effective bridges to our new future.

Anthropologist and author, Adam Kuper, explores the intricate relationship between museums and the societies that they represent.

Adam joins Matthew to discuss the ways in which museums have become cultural battlegrounds for debates about power, identity, and representation. They explore the ethical dilemmas that arise when museums display the cultural artefacts of others, and how these objects can both inform and misinform our understanding of history.

Adam Kuper was most recently Centennial Professor of Anthropology at the London School of Economics and a visiting professor at Boston University. A Fellow of the British Academy and a recipient of the Huxley Medal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Kuper has appeared many times on BBC TV and radio and he has reviewed regularly for the London Review of Books, the Times Literary Supplement, and the Wall Street Journal.

A Tempo & Talker production for the RSA.
