The Lower East Side Tenement Museum Inc. received a $300,000 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Public Programs (CFDA 45.164) to produce and implement an interactive, multimedia "Counter-History" exhibit in the museum's visitor center. This exhibit will elevate the museum's family history approach and make its sources more visible, thematically connecting historic and contemporary migration stories for over 200,000 annual on-site visitors. The grant funding will be used to create a new interactive display that draws on content from the museum's online archive of user-generated object stories and historic tenement family collections. This updated and optimized "Counter-History" exhibit builds on a past award-winning interactive display used in one of the museum's previous exhibits. The project period runs from March 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026.
