Mobile Museums of Tolerance
The Mobile Museums of Tolerance (MMOT) is a free traveling human rights education center utilizing innovative technology and interactive lessons to bring a message of tolerance directly to communities throughout the United States. The MMOT empowers visitors to combat anti-Semitism, bullying, racism, hate, and intolerance and to promote human dignity. The Mobile museums are based on its namesake, the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles (MOTLA) Through education, empathy, and tolerance programming, the MOTLA challenges visitors to confront bigotry, antisemitism and hate and to understand the Holocaust in both historical and contemporary contexts. The MMOT’s 32-seat wheelchair-accessible vehicle serves as a self-contained classroom while also delivering a field trip experience to its visitors. Led by a licensed educator, the MMOT uses immersive technology and facilitated dialogue to deliver its workshops. These carefully designed workshops cover difficult topics such as propaganda, discrimination, hate, and dehumanization in an age-appropriate manner. MMOT workshops teach visitors the dangers of the past in order to create a better future focused on tolerance, kindness, and empathy.
