The interiorized streetscape in a museum context traces its origins to the concept of the open-air museum, first introduced by Artur Hazelius’ Skansen (Sweden) in 1891, and which lies in society’s identification with its affinity for ‘ordinary’ material culture and buildings. The model was taken up in the United States after World War I, the most famous of examples being Colonial Williamsburg and Greenfield Village, both of which aimed to move away from the traditional elitist portrayal of history to a more folk-based narrative including not just life-sized displays of domesticity, but the addition of costumed interpreters to bring history to life. Within this wider historical contextHistorical contexts, using specific examples from three museums in Asia—the Hong Kong Museum of History, the National Museum of Singapore, and the Edo-Tokyo Museum—this chapter considers how reconstructed streetscapes impact the communication of narratives within the museum space. One factor that certainly plays a part in the Asian impetus to include interior rebuilds of historic cityscapes, for instance, is the significant development pressures experienced by so many rapidly modernizing cities, where historic (often colonial) buildings are being incrementally cleared away in the name of progress. Moreover, in many large Asian cities, the creation of an ‘open air’ museum along the lines of those so plentiful in North America and Europe, is simply impossible due to lack of space. The streetscape has thus been brought inside, where the (re-)creation of interior urban environments within the museum acts to reconceptualize place, identityIdentity, and memory in times of rapid global change.
