Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS)
Currently in 2012, Time’s Up! is helping launch an innovative museum in New York City’s Lower East Side called the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS). MoRUS is a living archive of the Lower East Side’s squats and community gardens. It will display photographs, posters, underground newspapers etc. to show how local residents cleaned up vacant lots and buildings and created organized spaces for the community. The museum’s tentative opening date is late July 2012. Time’s Up! is helping fund raise for the museum by spreading the word through documenting the construction process.
