rough a glass, darkly / e Museum of Man
A d i t y a A n u p k u m a r
e idea • Build the Museum of Man in Jerusalem • It will be independent of the peace process • It will be about the future, not the past
A d i t y a A n u p k u m a r
e insight, the hypothesis • Blood "ows through all our veins, it tells us we are alive • It tells the story of humanity – of our humanity • It tells the story of human legacy – what binds us to our past,
and sets us on our future paths • Blood has been the epicenter of both incredible compassion and
incredible con"ict, throughout history
• A blood-oath is just about the strongest form of pledge someone can make
• It is something we would not readily break
A d i t y a A n u p k u m a r
e execution • e museum will accept one drop of blood from each other • e giving of blood signi#es an oath • An oath, to never partake in violence again • It signi#es the belief that any blood that could have been shed in
ones’ name already has been, voluntarily – and that it has been shed in the name of peace, not war
• e blood, and the names will be saved for posterity
A d i t y a A n u p k u m a r
e hope • e museum will be a landmark dedicated to the promise of
peace • e hope is, that anyone, from anywhere in the World be able to
come to Jerusalem, and make their pledge • at Jerusalem will no longer be a landmark of religion, but of a
fundamental belief in human goodness
• It is not panacea to the Israeli-Palestinian con"ict, but it will certainly go a long way in making the World a little less violent, by creating the promises of a little more hope
