Mobile Museum of Tolerance

July 20, 2021

We are so excited to announce that the Recreation Center of Highland Park is hosting the Mobile Museum of Tolerance (MMOT) Monday, July 26 through Friday, July 30 from noon-6pm daily. The MMOT will be located at the northeast corner of the Rec Center parking lot.

A project of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the MMOT is a bus that has been transformed both inside and out, into a museum with the purpose to “inspire people of all ages and backgrounds, empowering them to raise their voices and combat anti-Semitism, bullying, racism, hate, and intolerance and to promote human dignity.”

MMOT utilizes innovative technology and interactive lessons to bring its message of tolerance directly to Illinois communities.
