Museum of Us

The Museum of Us will reimagine the exhibit, "Race: Are We So Different?" and provide complementary educational programming. Created by the American Anthropology Association and the Science Museum of Minnesota in 2007, the exhibit exposes the origins of systemic racism by helping visitors view the topic through the lenses of biology, social history, and personal identity. Designed to meet community needs, this project will expand the museum's culture of community collaboration and serve as a framework for community-centric activities, tours, workshops, and public programs. The project will result in a community co-curated comprehensive exhibit content plan that includes a new exhibit script, updated and new interactive elements, and a preliminary exhibit design.
