dc.description.abstract | This presentation offers an introduction to the concept of the “unsafe” museum and provides ways to thinking about the future of museums that deal with difficult heritage. As a case study, we use one of the most controversial sites in Cyprus: the Ledra Palace Hotel. Once praised as the jewel of Cypriot modernity in the heart of its capital, now it is a crumbling dwelling accommodating the United Nations Peacekeeping Force next to the division line between the southern and the northern parts of Cyprus. This specific site is not a museum and there are no current plans to establish a museum. But it is a perfect example of a symbolic, “loaded” building that can be used to negotiate the recent history of conflict in Cyprus. The Ledra Palace Museum will become an imaginary space where - without the practical and political restrictions of an actual museum - we can re-imagine the future of museums that deal with difficult heritage. | en_US |
