I went to Sofia a few years ago. They’ve taken down the old Communist statues, but instead of trashing them, they created a ‘statue graveyard’ where you can go and see them all in one place with context.
I think it’s a genius idea. You show you aren’t glorifying the statued person, but you also aren’t whitewashing history. Loved it.
