Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space - MORUS

Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space - MORUS Based in the East Village, the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space is a living archive of urban activism. Museum entry is free.

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. For more information, please visit:

The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space is now 14 years old, it has been doing an incredible job in events, campaigns, and especially outreach. We couldn't have done this without all the volunteers and community support, especially C-Squat.

Most of the visitors to the museum are Europeans, and they really understand the importance of community living, community gardens, and how that leads to a more livable and sustainable city. However, MoRUS, is noticing that more Americans have been catching on to the importance of sustainable urban designs.

Overview

We'll be getting a little witchy this spooky season by drinking some herbal teas, identifying the herbs, and talking about what they were traditionally used for!

We'll be identifying the herbs and talking about how to grow, harvest, and use them. Many herbs can grow wild and can be found throughout La Plaza. Join us for herbal tea and learn about the medicinal herbs growing in the garden.
