On Friday March 5th and Saturday March 6th 2010, two blocks on one of the busiest streets in Rhode Island's capital were transformed into a unique pop-up museum about itself.

Hundreds of museum labels were placed on windows, buildings, inside stores, on lampposts, parking meters, even on people, sharing remarkable stories from one of New England's most historic areas.

Museum docents and museum maps were on hand throughout the street. People were also invited to make their own labels, to wear around their necks and become a part of the exhibit.

Deliberately designed to question what a museum is and who it serves, The Museum Of Westminster Street took the language and methodology of the museum world, and moves it onto the street.
