      There is not an infinite amount of museum space, either. They curate their selection and won’t take everything. That’d be impossible.

      Also, melting a statue and turning it into another statue will cause the history of the old statue to be preserved as part of the history of the new statue, meaning again, the events surrounding the old statue aren’t forgotten. The statue’s end and rebirth just becomes part of the art, and imo the new statue would be more meaningful than just another hateful Nazi object.

      I guess a phoenix would make sense here too, but I really like the idea of the dove. Bummed they aren’t doing it.
