Overview
- The program funds the Museo de América and the Museo Nacional de Antropología, with €9.2 million earmarked for the former and €4.4 million for the latter.
- Work is slated to begin next year for the Museo Nacional de Antropología and in 2026 for the Museo de América, with both projects due for completion in 2028 under expert-advised, participatory processes.
- The Museo de América will reorganize its permanent display into four sections—Imaginaries; People and Beings; Dominations and Resistances; and Worldviews and Knowledge—framing decolonial and antiracist narratives.
- The Museo Nacional de Antropología will foreground institutional self-critique, address themes such as extractivism and slavery, and create spaces for communities to contribute their own readings of objects and histories.
- Officials say legal restitution issues, including claims over the Quimbaya Treasure, will be handled separately, and items with questionable provenance will not be exhibited.
