Museum of Foreign Debt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Museum of Foreign Debt (Museo de la Deuda Externa) was opened on April 28, 2005 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The museum highlights the dangers of borrowing money from abroad. Argentine economic crisis that drove to the 2001 riots prompted the largest foreign debt default in history of approximately $100 billion USD.
The museum is located at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Buenos Aires, and shows the debt's history, how it grew, and the responsibles of each action since the first attempt of independence in 1810. There's no entrance fee.
