The museum was divided into different rooms. Each one of them is depicting

The Museum as a Racist Institute Racism‚ particularly against those of African descent‚ is a very dark past for the Western world‚ one that still prevalently haunts and invades the future. As racism is a part of societies’ history‚ cultural institutions that present said history‚ such as museums‚ deal with the idea of racism every day in the exhibits within their walls.
