Event Details

The Mobile Museum of Tolerance is the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s newest educational initiative, bringing world-class learning experiences to communities across the state of Illinois. The purpose of the MMOT is to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds, empowering them to raise their voices and combat anti-Semitism, bullying, racism, hate, and intolerance and to promote human dignity.

Modeled after the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center’s successful “Tour for Humanity” bus, which has visited hundreds of schools across Canada since launching in 2013, the MMOT is the first of its kind in the United States. MMOT utilizes innovative technology and interactive lessons to inspire thousands of Illinoisans to stand up to hate and strive toward positive social change.

The MMOT will be parked outside of the library in the parking lot July 11 through July 15. The interactive exhibit will be available 11 a.m.- 6 p.m. each day. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
