Museum of Nothing II: Everything Offensive Removed

With nothing to look at, visitors are absolved of any grief in their lives. By peacefully meditating in the air where offensive art once stood, visitors can more efficiently process their own guilt, and decide whether that guilt should still be placed on other people (Answer: Yes.)

In 2017, The People's Cube reported that in the old days, it was enough to just move statues that we deem offensive from public property to a museum.

At the time, statues in America were suddenly starting to become offensive, after generations of not being offensive. This was not at all in response to the most recent election results. After decades of civil rights advances, this was an altruistic attempt to finally cleanse the United States of its original sin (The timing was just coincidental.)

It was suggested by some, that all statues be "moved to a museum" where their offensiveness could be pondered over in one, single building. By being in one place (the theory went) the statues would become much less offensive over time. But this idea was deemed unacceptable for the greater good.



The council decided that instead of putting the offensive statues in a museum, the statues would be destroyed, and the museum would instead stay empty. This way, no one would have to suffer the pain of intentionally going to a museum to look at an offensive statue. The name of the museum was changed to The Museum of Nothing. Everything offensive had been removed.

We thought this finally solved the problem, but this week, the Museum of Nothing II (formerly the Museum of Natural History) has made its grand re-opening. The statue of Teddy Roosevelt will be removed summarily. Within a matter of days, the attitude towards the statue shifted, from "don't care" to "too much to bear."

We hope now that the Museum of Nothing II has less to look at, and that visitors are absolved of any grief in their lives. By peacefully meditating in the air where offensive statues once stood, visitors can more efficiently process their own guilt, and decide whether that guilt should still be placed on other people (Answer: Yes.)

In addition, after looking at the financial statements, the museum board believes it is cheaper to run a museum with no exhibits or artifacts. It is a win-win for everybody!

Will you be visiting the Museum of Nothing II? How should the statue of Teddy Roosevelt be disposed of? Please leave your recycling ideas for the peaceful protesters.
