This is a photograph of a satirical advertisement for a historic Brooklyn landmark. The image features bold text reading "AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY: HISTORIC BROOKLYN LANDMARK!" with a black and white photograph of a classical museum building. Below the photograph, a satirical message implies a requirement for a new institution that upholds conservative, white, Christian values, and avoids offending political leaders, as well as a suggestion that shocking behavior should be reserved for the police department rather than museums. The advertisement is from Guerrilla Girls, known for their social commentary in the art world.
