\u201eE<\/span>xcuse me, I\u2018m looking for the Phallological Museum, can you tell me where it is, I can\u2018t seem to find it?\u201d asks a woman who looks to be in her late 30s. She smiles a bit tentatively, as if prepared for an unpredictable reaction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I suppose I might have looked a bit flustered if this hypothetical woman had approached me to ask such a question, not because the museum evokes mixed feelings in a lot of people, but rather because I don\u2018t have the slightest idea where this well-known tourist attraction is located in my hometown. That\u2018s not due to plain forgetfulness or dementia (I hope), rather to the fact that I have never visited the place, nor have I ever had plans to do so. Still, I have read a wonderful essay about it by an American friend of mine, A. Kendra Greene, who wrote a whole book about the most obscure museums all around my country, many of which I had never even heard of, let alone visited.\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201eAll this begs the question whether we, locals and visitors alike, can ever get direct access to the authentic, if it exists at all. The very act of presenting one\u2019s culture, especially if it\u2019s done in a language that is foreign to the speaker or the listener or both, has a tendency to modify the thing that is being presented.\u201c<\/p>\n
