When was the last time you were in detention center? If you haven't been at all, it's a great place to touch an unfamiliar space and try to feel what it means to be detained.

Jeg ville have givet fem stjerner, hvis teksterne om genstandene var oversat til engelsk. Det var de desværre ikke. Under alle omstændigheder var de spændende at se. Jeg havde nok også skullet bruge mere tiden på museet, hvis de havde været oversat. Jeg brugte lidt over to timer. Min ven havde ikke selv set udstillingen, så det endte med, at jeg nu anbefalede ham at besøge udstillingen sammen med...
