The Museum of London has acquired the 20-foot inflatable caricature of President Donald Trump, which was a mainstay of anti-Trump protests.
The Trump ‘Baby Balloon’ was designed by a UK self-described “anti-fascist art activists” collective, paid for through crowdfunding donations. A spokesman for the group behind the blimp previously described it as an “obscene mutant clone of the president”.
In a statement released on Sunday, the creators said that they hope the placement of the balloon in the Museum of London will serve as a reminder to stand up against the “politics of hate”.
“While we’re pleased that the Trump Baby can now be consigned to history along with the man himself, we’re under no illusions that this is the end of the story,” the statement said, according to
