Mmuseumm is a modern natural historymuseum located inTribeca,Lower Manhattan inNew York City. The museum displays contemporary artifacts in a style reminiscent of the historicalcabinet of curiosities model.[1][2]

History

[edit]

Mmuseumm was founded in 2012 by Alex Kalman[3][4] and theSafdie brothers.[5][6]

Location and space

[edit]

Mmuseumm is located inCortlandt Alley in Manhattan, betweenFranklin Street and White Street—a stretch occasionally referred to as "Mmuseumm Alley".[7] The museum's first location, Mmuseumm 1, opened in 2012 inside a former elevator shaft. A second wing, Mmuseumm 2, debuted in 2015 a few doors down.

The museum's total area is approximately 36 sq ft (3.3 m2), and its displays are visible to the public 24 hours a day through peepholes embedded in its doors.[8][9]

Concept and exhibitions

[edit]

Mmuseumm is dedicated to the curation and exhibition of contemporary artifacts intended to document and interpret modern life.[10] Its curatorial approach, described as "Object Journalism", presents everyday items in a natural history museum format, often drawing comparisons to historical cabinets of curiosities.[1]

Exhibitions are organized by "seasons", a structure inspired by the museum's original summer operating schedule.[11]
