ABSTRACT
This chapter begins with the concept of museo diffuso, rendered variously in English as open-air museum or diffused museum, or again dispersed museum, or finally disseminated museum. The museum is actually a website that shows an imaginary museum installed at the well-known US prison at Guantanamo Bay, the setting of episodes of torture and violations of human rights, after its hypothetical closure by order of President Barack Obama. The museum houses an Exhibition Hall and a Research Centre dedicated to all the victims of the detention centre: the Tipton Three Exhibition Centre, dedicated to the collective name of the British citizens from Tipton, England who were held in the extrajudicial detention in Guantanamo, and Jumah al-Dossari Centre for Critical Studies, dedicated to the citizen of Bahrain tortured in Guantanamo. One of the works in the Guantanamo Bay Museum is by an Italian-American artist based in San Francisco, Fiamma Montezemolo.
