For many anthropologists, natural history museums provide an outlet for presenting their research, in which this institutionalized and multidimensional space acts as a nexus for the reconstruction and understanding of life in a variety of time periods across the global landscape.

People that live in countries that have most of the power in the world wouldn’t understand the risk that the country is taking for power. Richard Notkin in the mural, “All Nations Have Their Moment of Foolishness” created in 2006 addressed the topic of the foolishness in power and insists that one powerful person has the attributes to cause destruction.
