History
editThe Mmuseumm was founded by Alex Kalman[3][4] and the Safdie brothers.[5][6] It curates its content and locations by "seasons", reflective of its original summer hours,[7] and has called two locations home on Cortlandt Alley between Franklin Street and White Street, sometimes known as Mmuseumm Alley.[8] Mmuseumm is dedicated to the curation and exhibition of contemporary artifacts[9] to illustrate the modern world.
Mmuseumm's first wing, Mmuseumm 1, opened in 2012 in a former elevator shaft. The second wing, Mmuseumm 2, opened in 2015 three doors down. The museum, which totals 36 square feet,[10] is accessible 24 hours a day via peepholes in its door.[11]
