Like most museums, the Born Again Labor Museum (BALM) is closed until further notice. However, during this time of hardship, disease, and class struggle, we want to share with you some of our recently created artifacts (see below). BALM commemorates the coming rebirth or reanimation of all past, present, and future generations of the exploited and oppressed. Our project was started in the 1940s and 1950s by Mr. Robert Feature-214, the William and Jack Person brothers, and the Claudette and Jennifer Human cousins. For nearly four decades BALM existed as a traveling museum displaying artifacts of working-class performance. In the 1980s the museum fell on hard times and most of its artifacts were lost. The project was later taken over by Tish Markley and Adam Turl after discovering a book about BALM in the Charleston Outlet thrift store in Las Vegas, Nevada. To learn more about the Born Again Labor Museum please visit our website. We will keep you updated as to when the museum will reopen for the general public.
