Why we need a museum of the Troubles

Think bigly, my friend said. We were walking in the mountains of my native Catalonia, not far from the Spanish-French border. We had been talking about the Northern Irish Troubles, as one does when high up in the Pyrenees. I had been outlining ideas from a cross-community group that aims at bringing into being a Museum of the Troubles and Peace (MOT&P) in Belfast.
