This article was first published by Museums + Heritage.

The Museum of Homelessness (MoH) has announced that it will open its first physical location to the public in May with a new immersive experience.

To mark the opening of its new site and ten-year anniversary, the museum has shared plans for ‘How to Survive the Apocalypse’.

The immersive experience, running two days a week from May 24th to 30th November 2024,will be a “lively, conversational encounter which is about connection and solidarity.”

It has also announced that it will not add labels to objects on display. It said its approach looks to “smash the traditional model of glass cases and guarded access”, instead presenting objects “through a tour that includes performance, poetry, object handling, chats, and much more.”
