Finding the Universal in the Particular

Exhibits at the Museum of Us encourage visitors to challenge their assumptions, share their perspectives, and experience what it means to be human in immersive and interactive ways.

From showing how the power of secrets can make us feel less alone, to helping visitors better understand the science, history, and experience of race in our country; our exhibits and programs present diverse stories that help define all of us.

Past Exhibits at the Museum of Us

We recognize that many of our past exhibits – including our foundational exhibits - are deeply colonial. In 2012, the Museum’s Board of Directors adopted a three-year strategic plan that identified our current mission and prompted a radical transformation in policy, structure, and programming. We seek to redress the harm caused by these exhibits by prioritizing community consent, anti-racism, and decolonization as part of our exhibition development process.
