Canadarsquo;s brand of nationalism celebrates diversity ndash; so long as it doesnrsquo;t challenge the unity; authority; or legitimacy of the state. Caitlin Gordon-Walker explores this tension between unity and diversity in three nationally recognized museums; institutions that must make judgments about what counts as ldquo;too differentrdquo; in order to celebrate who we are as a people and nation through exhibits; programs; and design. Although the contradictions that lie at the heart of multicultural nationalism have the potential to constrain political engagement and dialogue; the sensory feasts on display in Canadarsquo;s museums provide a space for citizens to both question and renegotiate the limits of their national vision.
