The short answer to the above-entitled question is no‚ the Museum of Tolerance is not tolerant. The long answer‚ since everything has both long and short answers these days‚ is the Museum tries to be as tolerant as it can‚ but as my guide commented "humanity is simply incapable of not being prejudiced."

able to go up to them and look at the details rather than staring at the photographs also made me more interested in the art itself. For this assignment I decided to compare “Seated Statue of Gudea” and “Statue of Eros Sleeping”. Fist‚ the “Seated statue of Gudea” is from 2150–2100 B.C. the Neo-Sumerian period.
