Museum of Foreign Debt.

When most of us think of museums, we don't think of foreign debt. We think of history -- of things old -- of ancient cultures, arts, and artifacts. It's a different story for some folks in Buenos Aires though. The department of Economic Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina aim to create the debt museum this fall. Their goal is to highlight and perhaps educate the Argentinian population on the effects of debt on the economy and development. Argentina has a rich history in debt. It has five times defaulted on debt payments in its history -- first in 1827, and recently in 2001, when it defaulted on $141 billion in loans. Read more in the Christian Science Monitor.
