This one is still around.

Personally, I think we should preserve history, good and bad.

Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, Charlottesville, VA - Official Website

Home of Thomas Jefferson - 3rd US President and author of the Declaration of Independence - a historic house, a local and national tourist attraction, and a World Heritage Site near Charlottesville, Virginia.

I think buildings shouldn’t all become museums, but rather repurposed depending on the needs of the living population. For example there’s an old slaughterhouse in Toulouse, France, that was renovated into a modern art hall. Bordeaux, France has an old submarine base that became an immersive exhibition center.

In my opinion buildings aren’t monoliths and should be used by the living, the dead who occupied them have no say in what they become

But… Museums do serve a purpose for the living population. If they didn’t invite visitors, then it would be a storehouse.

They do, but again, not all buildings should be a museum

You can recreate a miniature version of this kind of architecture and exhibit it somewhere else, and use the available land for something else

I like that idea.
Thanks haha
