Thesis Statement In traditional museums, the exhibitions about trees always move the specimens or cultural artifacts away from their indigenous land to fulfill the requirements of the public and the society. However, trees should not be regard as inanimate objects, but as the witnesses to the story of loss, change and destruction. This thesis is aiming to use the Creswick Historical Collection within the new research museum as the tool to challenge the dominance of human in traditional museums, moving the museum back to indigenous land and lead the public to rethink trees as living species and their existence as indigenous history observers.
