This paper seeks to contribute to the critical debate aboutcuratorial practices and how museums can betransformed into cultural centres that are ‘decolonising’their objects whilst simultaneously providing socialagency to marginalised groups such as indigenouspeoples. An exploration of new media theory, installationart and online museums allows us to examine to whatextent an online museum might provide scope to furtherthe debate about how indigenous heritage can bedisplayed and curated. Through a case study of ahypothetical online museum of the San’s culture, wetheorise and explore in what shape and form an onlinemuseum might play a role in the communication, support,and safeguarding of the culture and heritage of the San. While online museums may, and have, taken variousforms, we argue that a digitised reproduction of threedimensional objects within virtual rooms is not a valuablemethod for achieving inclusivity. Instead, inspired by newmedia art, we engage with a new way of classifyingmaterial which allows interactivity and communicationbetween the visitor and curator (i.e. indigenous peoples)through the creation of both the database of, and theinterface(s) to, the material archived in the onlineindigenous museum.
