Naturmuseum

„And if one looks at the origins and history of collections, one can go further and describe the museum from Napoleon to Hitler as a beneficiary of imperialist theft and nationalist self-aggrandizement. In the case of so-called natural history museums especially, the link between the collector’s salvage operation and the exercise of raw power, even genocide, is palpably there in the exhibits themselves: Madame Tussausds of otherness.“
