          Abstract

          Resumen De acuerdo con la historia de los museos como instituciones occidentales ligadas a procesos económicos y políticos particulares, en este artículo me concentraré en discutir la situación de estos espacios en el mundo contemporáneo y abrir la reflexión en torno de su definición y una necesaria redefinición coherente con nuevas demandas poscolonialistas. Específicamente, atenderé el contexto de la pandemia ocasionada por la enfermedad Covid-19 que, durante todo el 2020, ha marcado una coyuntura para los museos y su articulación futura; abordaré a la pandemia como un momento liminal, identificando la crisis como contexto de cuestionamientos, el clímax como un escenario repleto de opciones y respuestas posibles, y la resolución como periodo de transformación. El reloj se detuvo para todos, incluidos los museos que, de pronto, tuvieron que permanecer cerrados alrededor de un año. Sin embargo, el tiempo sigue y vale la pena preguntarnos cómo y, sobre todo, para qué volver a abrir las puertas de nuestras exposiciones.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract In accordance with the history of museums as Western institutions linked to particular economic and political processes, in this article I concentrate on discussing the situation of these venues in the contemporary world, thus opening up a reflection on their definition, and a necessary redefinition, consistent with new post-Colonialist demands. Specifically, I address the context of the pandemic caused by the Covid-19 disease which, throughout 2020, has marked a juncture for museums and their future articulation; I discuss the pandemic as a liminal moment, identifying the crisis in a context of questions, the climax as a scenario full of alternatives and possible answers, and the resolution as a period of transformation. The clock stopped for everyone, including museums which, suddenly, had to be closed for around a year. However, time goes on, and I feel it is now worth asking ourselves how, and, above all, why we should reopen the doors of our exhibitions.
