Minister of Culture Paola Holguín justified the removal of 30 works that were on display at the National Museum: “Political indoctrination”

Colombia's Minister of Culture, Paola Holguín, defended the removal of more than 30 pieces of art and historical objects from the permanent exhibition rooms of the National Museum in Bogotá. The decision, carried out by order of the Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Knowledge, affected works from three different rooms in the country's primary museum.

Holguín justified the dismantling of the exhibition by asserting that the cultural institution should not function as an instrument for political indoctrination. The action represents a significant intervention in the museum's displays by the ministry.
