“Revealing the Past. Challenging the Future” (Tenement Museum)

The Tenement Museum is located in a five-floor 1863 tenement at 108 Orchard Street in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Since about 2008, the Tenement Museum has used the slogan, “Revealing the Past. Challenging the Future.”

Profile
A guided tour is the only way into the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, a five-floor landmark 1863 tenement with apartments that have been decorated to recall the lives of actual residents. The museum strives to promote tolerance, reminding visitors of the challenges facing modern-day immigrants by presenting the struggles faced by those in the past. Guides encourage discussion and often begin a tour by asking visitors about their own ethnic roots—and whether any of their ancestors passed through Ellis Island or lived on the Lower East Side
