What do we ALL have in common? Something that connects all 100+ billion people who have ever lived on Earth?
The birthing experience! Through one way or another, we were all brought into this world through the process of birth. So why is a process that is so common, so innately human, also so often left out of public discussions? Why is an experience as diverse as the human population often presented so homogeneously in western culture, media, and medicine? And how might this perpetuate harm and institutional racism?
Let's talk about it. Join us for a conversation with holistic birth-care panelists about the process of birthing beyond hospital walls. Panelists will discuss community-based models of care and the colonial harm they counter.

The Four Principles of Purpose-Driven Board Leadership (SSIR)
Learn how the Museum of Us uses purpose-driven board leadership to bring about organizational transformation in this article by BoardSource CEO Anne Wallestad! ⤵️
While the traditional board puts the organization at the center of its sphere of influence, “purpose before organization” moves the organization away from the center, re-focusing on purpose and the question of how it can best steward its resources in service of that purpose.

Very cool exhibit. Poignant.
The changing of your name is truly a JOKE. You are pathetic!!
The name change to Museum of Us is pure stupidity. I refuse to patronize any place that becomes part of the 'woke' movement.
I am sorry but this name change is beyond ridiculous. The Museum of Humanoids makes sense, but from a intellectual point of view the "Museum of Us" has no intellectual meaning.
Museum of Us?!?!?!?!?! I hate the sound of it. It will forever be Museum of Man to me or like others suggested "Mankind". Museum of us sound pretty selfish and not about history. Museum of Mankind however sounds like history of humans, our species. I bet whoever came up with this name was a drop out from high school or college. I will refuse to bring my children here to a place with such a selfish title/name. You guys should have had the public, your visitors, vote on the new name for the museum.
I just watched a commercial that you are the Museum of Man and you going to change it to Museum of us museums are about the past do you want to change it change it to Museum of mankind that includes everybody!! Museum of us is it current events that's like oxymoron hello.
BOYCOTT the Museum of US!!! No name change unless it is "Mankind"!!
Hardly anyone wants this name change!! I strongly suggest if you're going to change it, you would be better off changing it to "Mankind"!!!! You will lose visitors BIG TIME!!! Don't be stupid and don't let the small minority talk you in to such a stupid change!!
A big thank you to The San Diego Museum of Man for supporting the recent fundraiser for Assistance League of Greater San Diego. Your donation to our silent auction helped make our event a wonderful success.
Hey Guys! Is your museum male only? If you are exhibiting anythung women related, I personally feel that changing the name to The Museum of HUMan would be very appropriate in our modern age. What do you think?
Hi! Are international student cards accepted?
You don't need to change the name! If anything it sounds like you just need to hire a new director of marketing and communications that hasn't bought into this PC for nothing BS!
