A Tour Exploring Prison and Freedom
“Freedom”—something we often take for granted. By placing yourself in a “prison,” where actions are restricted by strict and unique rules, a different perspective on freedom begins to appear.
Guided by a curator with a unique perspective centered around the theme of “freedom,” this tour takes you through the museum. You will also get exclusive access to the “Main Gate 2nd Floor,” which is normally closed to the public.
Why not take a moment in the quiet surroundings to contemplate your own definition of “freedom”?
