On the outside, the museum looks like a nondescript building–four walls of concrete surround the exhibit buildings. One wall has a set of glass doors set into it. These doors are welcoming and stretch from the floor to the ceiling — grand doors.

Inside, we obtained our tickets (which through Macaulay’s partnership were less $5 than the student price, i.e., $0) and walked through another set of doors that lead to a central open plaza.

There is a dome named after the German car brand Volkswagen. There are four dumpsters past that dome, labeled with stenciled words reading “THROW AWAY YOUR ART” — one of the current exhibitions in the museum. I wonder…

Behind those dumpsters is the main building. Once inside, we realize the largeness of the Zero Tolerance exhibit. It took up most of the first floor.

There were many interesting and unique videos and photographs in the museum. They ranged from Russian lesbian women kissing female police officers as protest to a Romanian music video made to show the corruption of the country. It made us aware of what change is going on in the world around us.

There were reenactments of famous battles, Islamic protests, and a video screening which seemed to be the centerpiece of the exhibit. This screening featured hoodlums, rapping to the camera over a rock soundtrack. It spoke of the misunderstandings between police/government and these people who live in a dismal state and became hoodlums.

This exhibit underscored the tension between government and its people; it emphasized the failure of government.
