Imagining Asia’s three-city comparative framework provides a new conceptual lens through which to examine these museum sites. The case studies are well chosen, as all three share similar legacies of British colonisation and Chinese hegemony. Furthermore, the museum focus extends the study of cultural agencies in Asia, as well as the way they shape formations of national identity.
