La Oficina del Patrimonio Intangible recopiló, preservó y exhibió las experiencias cotidianas que tuvieron lugar en los museos del Banco de la República entre 2006 y 2007. Su trabajo se centró en el espacio intermedio entre las obras y la vida diaria — donde la presencia de insectos, animales, guías, visitantes y personal irrumpe en la quietud con movimiento. La propuesta imagina una red que vive como simbionte dentro del museo: un archivo vivo que se dispersa en lugar de acumularse.

The Office of Intangible Heritage collected, preserved, and exhibited the daily experiences that took place within the Banco de la República museums between 2006 and 2007. Its work focused on the intermediate space between artworks and everyday life — where the presence of insects, animals, guides, visitors, and staff disrupts stillness with movement. The proposal envisions a network that lives as a symbiont within the museum: a living archive that disperses rather than accumulates.
