Help MSEUM Make HERstory!

MSeum is honored to announce that our non-profit fiscal sponsor is a mission-aligned organization we’ve admired since its earliest beginnings: Darwin Animal Doctors, which has remained committed to bringing veterinary care to the animals of the Galápagos Islands for the past 15 years and counting. Our generous donors may rest assured that their donation will be safely received by DAD, and marked as funds restricted for MSeum.

How are these two orgs linked, you may ask? As a feminist organization, MSeum prioritizes females of all species, and we aim to raise national and global awareness of the link between feminism, the rights of animals, and environmental protection. Believing it’s impossible to be a feminist without rejecting meat and dairy, and the suffering those cruel industries inflict on our animal sisters, MSeum will celebrate creative, plant-based chefs as Culinary Artists, and serve strictly vegan refreshments at all openings and fundraising events.

One of MSeum’s core initiatives is a public art project to honor all our sisters who have lost children: The Vilomah Chapel, a non-denominational sacred space, situated outdoors, created by a woman landscape architect. Our Chapel will encourage visitors to spend quiet time in the embrace of Mother Nature, contemplating a compelling bronze monument created by a woman sculptor. Such a tribute has thus far never been offered, anywhere in the world. MSeum’s Vilomah Chapel will harness the power of art to highlight the universality of maternal grief: preliminary proposed statuary subjects include a dairy cow and an orca matriarch breaching the water’s surface.

Charles Darwin himself was a proud father of daughters, notably his beloved first child Anne, who died at age 10 (subject of the biography “Annie’s Box” and its film adaptation, “Creation”). We believe that the concept of MSeum’s Vilomah Chapel would speak profoundly to Mr. Darwin’s heart — and its realization will provide a much-needed place of peace and spiritual recharge to all who visit. Please donate today, to help make the Vilomah Chapel a reality!
