Museums and the juncture at the beginning of the XXI century in Bolivia
Abstract
After a short review of the museum and its transformation over time, the article tackles the importance of politics in its administration. Then, we reflect on the conflicts, tensions and some openings that are taking place at the global level, stemming from complex dynamics and the dispute between the State and the Market for the possession of heritage assets, which are sheltered in museums. From this context, we offer a brief reflection on the current state of museums in Bolivian society and on their role for the twenty-first century.
