Visit the Mobile Museum of Tolerance Next Week

Visit the Mobile Museum of Tolerance next week, Monday-Friday, between noon and 6 p.m. at the Highland Park Recreation Center at 1207 Park Ave West, Highland Park.

The Mobile Museum of Tolerance is a motor coach bus that has been transformed both inside and out, into a museum with the purpose 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."

The museum offers an interactive experience for visitors to learn about topics ranging from the legacy of the Holocaust to the power of ordinary people to create positive change in their communities today. For more information about the museum, click here.
