ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses what can be done in order to achieve change at both a structural and a concrete, individual level. It explores what can be done in order to integrate gender issues and strengthen the awareness of the importance of heritage institutions to include gender perspectives when narrating about the past at both a structural and practically concrete level. Cultural heritage has a strong symbolic potential for constructing identities. It is most often shaping images and narratives around those people that are regarded as officially honourable, memorable and desirable in a society. Cultural heritage can, in other words, function as a vehicle for both opening the door for a more inclusive and diverse society or closing it. This underlines even more the potential importance of the cultural heritage. The politics of heritage seem to a high degree still to be the same as at the birth of the museum in the late 1800s heteronormative, white, Western context.
