In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, early anthropologists helped set up ethnographic museums displaying indigenous art and cultural artifacts. During this time, modernist European artists also began incorporating indigenous themes into their work. Identify whether or not these are problematic ways that indigenous art was represented in museums in the early twentieth century.

I believe that the central problem with this is that the museums didn't display the art under the original context in which the art was created, which causes ideas such as primitive art, strange, or even bizarre.

When other cultures begin to be explored and their arts gradually were incorporated by the museums, the population was not used to look at them as they did with the European art, causing an inevitable comparison and the prejudice.
