A recent article in *La Silla Vacía* emphasizes the importance of preserving the National Museum in Bogotá, Colombia as a space for historical memory, free from the influence of shifting political agendas. The author argues that the country’s collective memory should not be subject to the ebb and flow of each government’s “cultural battles.” True reconciliation, the piece suggests, requires *more* remembrance, not less. Transforming the National Museum into a site of political conflict undermines its primary function as a repository of Colombian history and cultural heritage. The article highlights a concern that politicizing such institutions hinders genuine national healing and understanding. It underscores the need for the National Museum to remain a neutral ground for all Colombians to engage with their past. The piece warns against allowing the museum to become a pawn in ongoing ideological disputes.
