What would YOU exhibit?

The Museum of London is auctioning a square meter of display space to raise money to buy cocaine for distressed beadles or something, I don't know. So, what would you display if you won the opportunity? The MoL insists it has to be something to do with London but let's ignore that. What would you bung in that square meter?

i'd stick one of these in the ceiling, pointing down, and have it hooked up to a loop of assorted phrases at differing intervals.

why am i even here?
ten seconds...
i hate museums
fifteen seconds...
i wish i was cleverer. none of this makes any sense
twelve seconds...
i'm going to scream!
three seconds...
what's the best thing in here to steal?

...and so on.

I can only beat that by adding Bush's, Quantum.

The exhibit can be called "Heads of State"

I was thinking a 6 foot statue of my penis with the words actual size printed on the plaque in front of it. Then hang around to see what bullshit people would come up with to explain it.

Pictures of myself in Andy Warhol style

15 minutes, one square meter. Things are getting thougher

I would exhibit a cage full of mice and mouse toys, because they're endlessly active and interesting, unlike most museum exhbitits.

Nelson's diamond-studded sword in the MoL C18 Gallery is an amazing bit of bling, though.

Even better, brown rats! Because you're never more than six feet from a rat in London, except that in this case (literally, ha!) you can see them.

I'd either have a very expensive looking silver plate filled with tiny faeces on crackers, one for every nation in the world, with a flag for each individual nation sticking out of them, or: a giant photograph of a man eating an expensive dinner off of a fully set table in the middle of a riot-torn, city in flames.
