The House of the History of the Federal Republic of Germany Foundation acquired the work "Greta" by the artist Ali Zülfikar for the museum.

In 2018, Zülfikar got into trouble in the Stadthalle in Linz/Rhein with a critical work showing Turkish President Erdogan. At that time, the Turkish Consul General Sibel Müderrisoglu intervened, and the city of Linz initially caved in too. Only when the mayor received assessments from the Foreign Office and the police, was the artist finally allowed to exhibit his work. 

Ali Zülfikar was nominated "Artist of the Year" by the Turkish Ministry of Culture in 2017, the artist says he refuses to accept the award.
