The Mobile Museums of Tolerance (MMOT) offer a world-class learning experience,
utilizing innovative technology and interactive lessons to bring its message of
tolerance directly to schools and communities nationwide. The MMOT aims to
inspire people of all ages and backgrounds to promote human dignity by
empowering them to raise their voices to combat anti-Semitism, bullying,
racism, hate, and intolerance.
The MMOT’s 32-seat, wheelchair-accessible vehicle serves as a
self-contained classroom, while delivering a field trip experience to its
visitors. Led by a licensed educator, the MMOT uses immersive technology and
facilitated dialogue to deliver carefully designed workshops that cover topics
including anti-Semitism and hate, the lessons of the Holocaust, the Civil
Rights movement, and decoding online hate, all taught age-appropriately. MMOT
workshops empower participants with knowledge of the dangers of the past in
order to create a better future.
First launched in the US in Illinois, the MMOT is
based on the Museum of Tolerance (MOT) in Los
Angeles, California, the educational arm of the Simon
Wiesenthal Center, which challenges visitors to confront bigotry,
anti-Semitism and prejudice, and to understand the Holocaust in both historic
and contemporary contexts.
