Argentina’s Debt Museum
And interesting Museum has opened in Argentina.
Three years after staging the largest debt default in modern history, Argentina on Thursday opened what may be the first Museum of Foreign Debt to teach people the perils of borrowing abroad.
…
“I liked best the black hole with everything the debt swallowed — education, families, jobs,” said Fabian Jader, 34, an opening night visitor. “I feel anger and pity for the people, but above all helplessness.”
…
“People know absolutely nothing about how we accumulated all this debt, they only know about the misery they have seen lately,” said museum director Simon Pristupin, who dreamed up the idea in 2001 and struggled to convince sceptics.
…
Pristupin said his favourite part of the museum is a golden cart sculpture made out of cardboard.
“It symbolizes Argentina’s reality: everything’s golden, but it’s made of cardboard and that reminds us of all those people who today collect cardboard for recycling.”

In Zeiten von massenhaft Websitenmüll im Internet eine sehr gut aufgebaute Website, nicht überdimensioniertes Design und sehr gut recher-schierte Hintergrundinformationen.
