Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space


  • Missão

    The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) seeks to preserve history and promote scholarship of grassroots urban space activism by researching and archiving efforts to create community spaces, focusing especially on the efforts in the East Village and Lower East Side. We will also exhibit materials that document these actions, to educate people on the political implications of reclaimed space.

    Sobre Nós

    The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) is a living archive of the Lower East Side’s squats and gardens. Located in the storefront of a historic building in the East Village of New York, the museum displays materials such as photographs, posters, zines, underground newspapers, comics, banners and buttons that show how local residents cleaned up vacant lots and buildings in the area, and made them organizing spaces for the community. The museum also offers tours on Saturdays and Sundays, which lead participants to the East Village’s most legendary community gardens, squats and sites of social change, and explain their compelling and rich histories.
