AIDS Museum

A United States HIV/AIDS Memorial Museum, to be located in Newark, New Jersey, is being planned for opening in 2006. The project was first researched and developed by Ashley Grosso, a student at Seton Hall University (located in South Orange, NJ). Other members of the Seton Hall University community and other organizations, such as Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York City, will collaborate to develop the museum.

The mission statement of the organization is:

"The AIDS Museum will be America’s national institution for the documentation, study and interpretation of the AIDS Pandemic. The mission of the Museum will be to advance and disseminate knowledge about AIDS, to preserve the memory of those who have died and continue to suffer, and to encourage visitors to reflect upon the medical, political, and humanitarian questions raised by the AIDS Pandemic. The Museum will have an inspirational tone, highlighting the ways in which people have come together through organizations to creatively address the range of social and health care issues raised by the Pandemic."

There is currently an AIDS Museum located in Thailand and another being developed in South Africa.

While there are AIDS memorials, exhibits, and artwork in the United States, the AIDS Museum in Newark will be the first institution of its kind in the country.
