I have closed the actual museum MUM (MUM stands for MUseum of Menstruation; it fits in neatly with "Mum's the word," which means "Shhh! Don't talk about it!") until I find a public place for it; I was exhausted and needed free time. (Any suggestions for a public place?) It was nestled in my house for four years, 1994-1998, where about 1500 mostly weekend visitors patiently put up with my nonstop lecture. You can see what it looked like in the cybertour, in Web video, in the film Under Wraps, or in many magazines and newspapers!

Read about the function and future of this musem.

This Web site began April 1996, and the museum in my house opened the last day of July, 1994. The museum closed in August 1998.

"It's fabulous that someone out there is willing . . . to pull back the curtain."

(Mona Miller, national media relations director of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, discussing the museum in The Prince George's Journal, Maryland, U.S.A.)
