Radical History in the East Village: A Talk and Tour at the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space

Opened on December 8, 2012 on Avenue C between 9th and 10th Streets, the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MORUS) preserves neighborhood history of the East Village and beyond and promotes scholarship of grassroots urban activism by researching and archiving efforts to create community spaces. Join MORUS for a special evening that will include a talk by the museum’s founders on the history of the museum, how it came together, and how they bounced back after a visit from Superstorm Sandy. The talk will be followed by a guided tour of the museum’s galleries and exhibits.
