AIDS Museum, Educational museum in Newark, New Jersey, US
The AIDS Museum is an educational institution in New Jersey that displays artwork, photographs, and historical documents about the HIV/AIDS epidemic in America. The collection documents medical, social, and personal aspects of this health crisis through various artistic and documentary media.
The institution was founded in 2006 and initially organized exhibitions at universities including The New School, Seton Hall, Rutgers, and George Mason. This decentralized approach helped establish the institution in academic settings and reach a broader audience.
The exhibitions feature artwork created by artists living with HIV and partner with schools to support health education. Visitors experience how creativity and personal stories help make a complex topic understandable.
The museum does not have a permanent location and presents exhibitions in various places. Visitors can sign up for newsletters through the website to stay informed about upcoming exhibitions and events.
Since 2010, the institution has partnered with schools in Newark to integrate exhibitions and materials directly into high school health instruction. This close collaboration makes it a key place for health education among young people.
