the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS)

The mission of MoRUS is to preserve the history of grassroots activism and promote environmentally-sound,

community-based urban ecologies. MoRUS pursues three main goals:

– archive and document the history of activism in the Lower East Side, East Village and Alphabet City

– educate visitors with exhibitions and guided tours of the neighborhood

– empower individuals to partake in the process for sustainable change with workshops and events
