About Museum of Broken Windows

The Museum of Broken Windows is a pop-up exhibition organized by the New York State affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union. Housed within the Cooper Union's Foundation Building on Cooper Square, the project has been displayed twice, first from September 22 through 30, 2018, and then between September 13 and October 8, 2019.

The exhibition features artwork that explores the historic tactics utilized by the NYPD and their eventual consequences in terms of racial injustice and police brutality, focusing primarily on the namesake broken windows theory of crime.
