His mission fails, especially after the four are transferred to a tighter security prison in the heart of Germany. The prison is a fabulous castle placed in the German countryside. The train-ride through the European backwoods creates nostalgia for the innocence and beauty Europe held before World War II.

As a display space, the Carpenter Center functions as the typical university art gallery: Alternating between senior thesis displays, faculty shows, and periodic travelling exhibitions.
