Analysis
In *Creating a World Without Poverty* (2007), Muhammad Yunus writes that a world without poverty is possible if people collectively believe in it, and he notes that poverty would then only appear in history. The specific phrase "the only place you would be able to see poverty is in the poverty museums" does not appear in the book; it is a loose re‑phrasing of his sentiment. Therefore the statement misrepresents Yunus's exact words while retaining the general gist of his message.
Background
Yunus, the Nobel‑laureate founder of Grameen Bank, frequently emphasizes the power of collective belief and action to eradicate poverty. In his 2007 book he argues that poverty can become a historical artifact, but he does not use the term "poverty museums." Misquotations of his work are common in secondary sources.
Verdict summary
The quote is a paraphrase; Yunus expressed a similar idea but did not say the exact wording about "poverty museums".
