Meet the Future at MoM

The future is looking bright for everyone. “How so?” you might wonder? Well, the truth is that light is everywhere—even in the darkness.

Now that the season of light is upon us, we are pleased to welcome new initiatives, new interns, new solvency strategies, and the same ole sense of love and compassion that MoM musters in every circumstance.

The future will not be bright because it is easy. It will be bright because people continue to choose love, compassion, and responsibility for one another—especially in hard times. That is the work of m/otherhood. That is the work of this museum. And that is the light we are committed to tending, together.

Support us with a year-end donation and keep us front and center where families live, work and play!

Mess House at MoM

MESS HOUSE: New Photo Exhibition by Martha Joy Rose MA Mother Studies. This exhibit wishes to gratefully acknowledge The Factory LLC organization for the use of wall space in Building 7 to explore archived photos from her personal collection. Exploring the compelling idea of a ‘Mess House’ is a somewhat universal theme. As humans we seek to create order (oftentimes ineffectually), confront our wildness and occasionally find acceptance and peace within the chaos of daily life and family. From the chapter: Mess House by Batya Weinbaum, Gone Feral, Demeter Press 2025.
