During this season of giving, we hope you will continue to support our mission to elevate the stories of immigrants, migrants, and refugees to build a more inclusive and expansive American society. Your gift will help us welcome 30,000 K-12 students in the coming year, building to expand learning and broaden understanding of what it means to be American. Your generosity will also directly enable our work to build knowledge and empathy and foster community, one visitor and one tenement family story at a time.

The Tenement Museum welcomes you into the homes of immigrant, migrant, and refugee families connecting past to present.
About us
We tell the stories of working-class tenement residents, who moved to New York City from other countries and other parts of the country. Their work helped build the city and nation, and their stories help us understand our history. We aim to build an inclusive and expansive American identity and believe that the exploration of our complex history—one with moments of both inclusion and exclusion—helps prepare us to recognize and discuss today’s complex issues with empathy and nuance.

“What is most unique about the Tenement Museum is that it shines the spotlight on ‘ordinary people’ — working-class families who never imagined they’d one day be the subject of a museum,” says Tenement Museum President Annie Polland. In a city of options we think our stories make the museum a magical place to visit.

Loved having our Pace Interns this summer! They were eager to learn and a pleasure to work with. The #PaceU Community Impacted Funded Interns made it possible to have an internship program! Also happy to reconnect with a former AIG colleague, Phyllis Mooney.
A big thank you to the Tenement Museum for hosting Alejandra, Sakshi, and Nicolette, 3 #PaceU Community Impact Funded Interns this summer. If you haven’t visited yet, you should! https://www.tenement.org/ The Pace University Community Impact Program supports Pace students by providing them PAID positions, networking opportunities, and professional experience, while also supporting non-profit organizations in the New York area. They earn $19 an hour and can make up to $6,000 for the summer through generous financial gifts by donors. Phyllis Mooney Crystal Tsang, M.S.Ed.
