Stories are arguably central to effective communi cation, both generally and more specifically in the context of museums. Mus eums can be approached as places that focus not so much on objects but, as Salvador Salort-Pons, Director of the Detroit Museum of Art, recently point ed out in a newspaper article, as spaces for empathy and as a ‘bonding mech anism for our society’, and stories are a central means of achieving this. We can see ourselves in stories told by other people. In a museum there is the potential for a visual and aesthetic dimension to stories, through the objects that the museum holds. Stories told in the context of a museum, by and about people another part of the world, such as SE Asia, are a means of creating a bond between visitors and those people, creating a space that n ot only brings out experiences and feelings from other places but emphasisi ng the fact that many, perhaps most, of these are common to all humans. Thi s is expressed in the way that the Museum of Broken Relationships in Zabreg describes itself as ‘a museum about you, about us’. Stories generate empat hy; they can even bring about change in wider society.\n\nI invite contribu tions to the panel that explore the use of stories and story-telling within museums, both in SE Asia itself and in European museums with SE Asia colle ctions. This includes the use of stories in museum displays and the creatio n of stories as part of museum displays and exhibitions, that link visitors to the museum with people in SE Asia. I would also welcome contributions d iscussing stories that link museum collections and individual museum object s in particular European countries with nations, places, individuals and mu seums in SE Asia, which may or may not have been used in displays.
