The World's First Makeup Museum!
The Makeup Museum will be the first free-standing museum devoted to the history of makeup, preservation of antique beauty artifacts, exploration of trends, and a look at the future. We are launching this campaign to bring the beauty community together to raise funds and awareness for the Makeup Museum's opening in NYC in May 2020.
OUR MISSION: EDUCATE. INSPIRE. CELEBRATE.
The Makeup Museum is dedicated to empowering all people to learn about and have fun with beauty. The Makeup Museum brings beauty to life through large-scale exhibits, events, and interactive and unique shopping opportunities.
WHY WE NEED THE MAKEUP MUSEUM
If there are museums for ice cream, pizza, and even glass... how is there no museum for makeup yet!? With more than 10,000 years of history, beauty is art, commerce, innovation, technology, creativity, performance, transformation, empowerment, culture, connection, and more.
