Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS)

Exploring Activist History

Get to know the people's history of the Lower East Side — from organizers who fought developers to protect community gardens, to the bikers that kicked cars out of city parks, learn about the grassroots activists that made NYC what it is today.

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.Every Saturday and Sunday 3PM, MoRUS hosts a tour around the museum and the surrounding community gardens, focusing on the history of squats, bike movements, community, and more. Our tour guide has been involved in community organizing for years — come ask him all about the history of East Village!IMPORTANT: There is no ticket required! Just show up even if eventbrite says it's sold out.
