MNEMA
We go to museums to look at the ancient shards, but often destroy modern works of art.
Politics, short-term ideas, propaganda - of course, all this affects us.
But do we have the right to destroy what was created not by us and take away from our grandchildren and great-grandchildren the opportunity to study the real history?
