Photo archive

Des-archivando el MAMBO [Un-archiving the MAMBO] is an initiative undertaken by the Research Center aimed at documenting, cataloging, and digitizing the museum’s photographic archive to enhance public access. These archival processes will facilitate various research and virtual projects connecting the archive’s content with MAMBO’s digital public, promoting the activation of historical material that preserves a fundamental part of not only the museum’s history but also the history of Colombian and Latin American art
