Modernity has categorised, along with coloniality, heritage formations into binaries such as natural and cultural, movable and immovable, and tangible and intangible. These are being questioned over the past two decades largely focussing on indigeneity and cultural diversity. Demonstration projects are important to interrogate establishment notions and their hegemonic positioning. That is exactly what the Intangible Cultural Heritage and Museums Project has been able to do, open the pathways for rethinking European heritage discourse. It has wider global implications. This paper raises certain key questions anticipating that the next decade would be the decolonising period for rethinking the institution of the museum. Transformations would need to be necessarily situated within the broader post coloniality of sustainable heritage development addressing the triangulation of Covid-19 and post pandemic realities, environmental degradation and climate crisis and gross inequities exposed by the Black Lives Matter movement in various manifestations across the world.  a0042-8523
