The Museum of Antiquities serves as a fabricated front in this event, used by the Sinister Man to lure Brody into the Nazi trap.

The Sinister Man claims to be a representative of this institution, offering a car to Brody under the pretense of providing transport.

Exercising influence through misinformation and exploitation of trust. The Nazis use the museum’s name to create a false sense of security, manipulating Brody’s expectations and scholarly instincts to their advantage.

By posing as museum representatives, they exploit Brody’s scholarly identity and the trust placed in academic collaboration, demonstrating how easily deception can be woven into the fabric of everyday interactions.

Its ‘operation’ in Iskenderun is entirely dependent on the Sinister Man’s ability to convince Brody of its legitimacy. The organization’s dynamics are thus reducible to the agent’s performance, which collapses once Sallah intervenes.
