This research project's main focus has been on how the term Made in China stands in relation to one of its counterparts Made in Italy. The research has also focused on the Western view of Chinese traditional art compared to contemporary art. In thinking through Made in China, this research project has examined how other museums based in Europe and North America have proceeded when they have created exhibitions with the theme of 'China. This research project draws attention to indoctrinated discourses that dominate the 'Western' cultural sphere. It endeavours to show how museums can reshape such a discourse, with the help of both material and non-material culture, so as to offer more responsible representational practices.
