Reviews of Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS)
"Cool little museum about the history of LES and activism there. Enjoyed learning about the history of community gardens and cycling jn NYC."
"The walking tour is extremely informative and very well done. Our guide was engaging and was someone who loved through the things he explained, being able to give very dateiled and important accounts on the city development since the seventies. The walk is preasurable, and the community garden are wonderful."
"Really cool spot operated by a really friendly and knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants a very detailed, and educational look at this part of the city's history. It's really amazing to learn what people have been able to accomplish, especially when you take into consideration the struggles that they had to overcome in order to do so. All of which you'll be able to learn more about by visiting this museum, and for those of you who are already familiar with the history of the location, and the incredible music that came from it, you'll be glad that you visited. It's a real privilege to have this place open to the community."
"We came for a guided walking tour and I truly enjoyed the event. The tour guide is patient and understanding and very knowledgeable about the entire area. Even thought I've lived in nyc for years I learned a lot more about the LES. I highly recommend for New Yorkers and tourists."
"Everybody should visit this museum located in Alphabet City/Manhattan. It tells the history of the struggles in NYC related to the use of the space, like housing, public spaces, transportation. You can buy some zines, bottons, stickers and T-shirts there. It is a good way to know more about the real NYC."
