The mission of the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) is to preserve the history of grassroots activism and promote environmentally-sound, community-based urban ecologies. The museum promotes scholarship of grassroots urban space activism by researching and archiving efforts to create community spaces. We also exhibit materials that document these actions in order to educate people on the political implications of reclaimed space. MoRUS is a volunteer-run nonprofit organization.
