Installations

Installations are always free and open to the public during museum visiting hours. Outdoor installations are available to the public at all times.

Feeling At Home

Beyond the uniform exteriors of public housing buildings, there are apartment units with unique, enthralling, and carefully curated interiors. We partnered with Jayah Arnett from My Projects Runway to collect family photos of public housing apartments. From these photos, we share their stories and select fabric to adorn the seats in our main gathering hub.

Good Times

When American sitcom Good Times came out in 1974, it was the first time public housing residents saw themselves on mainstream television. We worked with Maurice Edwards, Cabrini Green Homes Community Development Corporation President, to ask current Cabrini Green residents to tell us their favorite episodes, clips of which are on view in our Lower Level gallery.
