Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space, Community activism museum in East Village, Manhattan, US.
The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space documents neighborhood transformations through photographs, multimedia displays, and artifacts in a former squat building space.
Established in 2012 as part of C-Squat, the museum preserves the story of how local residents converted abandoned buildings into communal spaces during the 1970s recession.
The institution displays protest materials, stencil art, and community garden documentation while hosting regular talks from environmental and housing rights activists.
Located at 155 Avenue C, the museum opens Tuesday and Thursday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, offering guided walking tours.
The museum's reception desk incorporates repurposed police barricades, symbolizing the transformation of restrictive elements into community-oriented features.
