I think buildings shouldn’t all become museums, but rather repurposed depending on the needs of the living population. For example there’s an old slaughterhouse in Toulouse, France, that was renovated into a modern art hall. Bordeaux, France has an old submarine base that became an immersive exhibition center.
In my opinion buildings aren’t monoliths and should be used by the living, the dead who occupied them have no say in what they become
But… Museums do serve a purpose for the living population. If they didn’t invite visitors, then it would be a storehouse.
However, in this case, a resort for rich, presumably predominantly white , people, probably doesn’t meet your criteria for “needs of the living population.” It certainly doesn’t meet mine.
