The Museum of Contemporary Culture seeks to exhibit, analyze, and broaden the knowledge of contemporary culture(s) in an effort to generate a better understanding of human life today. The exhibitions at MuCoCu are intended to explore, explain, and contextualize modern cultural experience and all of its wonders and curiosities.

Spring 2012 Touring Collections

The three exhibitions currently on tour and showing at Princeton University pertain to particular aspects of contemporary culture in the United States, a region dense in the diversity of its peoples. These three exhibitions, taken either individually or as a whole, are not intended to cover the full scope of contemporary culture in the United States, but rather to reveal certain marvelous aspects—fascinating customs, bizarre rituals, curious traditions, and astounding innovations.
