Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space withfriends

As a living history of urban activism, the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) chronicles the East Village community’s history of grassroots action. It celebrates the local activists who transformed abandoned spaces and vacant lots into vibrant community spaces and gardens. Many of these innovative, sustainable concepts and designs have since spread out to the rest of the city and beyond.

MoRUS preserves the history of the Lower East Side’s grassroots activism and promotes environmentally-sound, community-based urban ecologies through:
– archiving and documenting the history of the Lower East Side’s activism.
– educating visitors with exhibitions and guided tours of the neighborhood.
– empowering individuals to participate in the drive for sustainable change with workshops and events.

As a volunteer-run organization, we rely on community support to sustain our operations. Become a MoRUS member today to help support exhibitions and dynamic pubic programming. Learn more or join us as a volunteer at www.morusnyc.org.
