Mmuseumm, a non-profit museum operating in a 36-square-foot storefront space that was once a freight elevator in an alleyway in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York City, is the brainchild of Alex Kalman, and Josh and Ben Safdie. The museum website's mission statement says, "Mmuseumm is a modern natural history museum devoted to the curation and exhibition of contemporary artifacts that illustrate the complexities of the modern world."
The only downside is that obviously a closet can become quite crowded and the people standing in front of us wanted to read all the placards on every single item in the glass cases. When we visited there were some displays about the evolution of the mobile phone, which was interesting because I was actually alive when all of these were the "latest and greatest thing." To someone a bit younger, they might never have known anything other than smartphones or at least flip-phones.
There were also tissues and handkerchiefs that had been used by famous people and world leaders. I decided to focus on the one that used to be owned by Vladamir Putin. Don't worry, they were all clean. Nobody really wants to look at the snot of someone else.
They also has (obviously very small) replicas of all the wall prototypes being proposed and considered by Donald Trump at the moment. The collection is in a state of constant rotation so you never know what you are going to get when in Mmuseumm. It is located in a part of town that is really easy to get to no matter where you are visiting in NYC and it also just a block or two away from the fire-station from Ghostbusters, so you can combine a visit to both of them in a very short amount of time. Mmuseumm is always free and yeah, i think it is more worth visiting.
