Summary/Abstract: As we hear increasing demands to include more diverse voices in our institutions can find inspiration in museums that were made by and for the communities they serve. This article presents two such museums in the United States, the National GreatBlacks In Wax Museum and the Burlesque Hall of Fame, where the founders built their own venues for cultural representation. These sites rely on emic interpretation as visitors are given tours by members of the communities whose culture is on display, providing representation, education, and visitor engagement.
