A Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City

"A Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City" is an interactive exhibit organized by Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF). Experienced aid workers guide visitors through an outdoor reconstruction of a refugee camp while they explain challenges that refugees face in finding food, water, shelter, and medical care.

Guided by MSF aid workers, visitors are asked to imagine that they are among the millions of people fleeing violence and persecution in, for example, Somalia, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, or Sudan.


The exhibit is made up of materials used by MSF in its emergency medical work around the world, including emergency refugee housing, a food distribution tent, water pump, health clinic, vaccination tent, therapeutic feeding center, and a cholera treatment center. It addresses questions such as:

  • Will I be safe?
  • What will I eat?
  • How do I find water?
  • Can I get medical care?
  • Where will I live?
