McGowan recalled a “special kind of laughter” heard from visitors, “not like you hear at comedy shows, but more like some incredible kind of therapeutic release, which was laughter but also joy and reminiscence–a rekindling.”#UnknownMuseum #MickeyMcGowan This tweet was posted on November 30, 2023.

In 1973, McGowan began collaborating with artist-friend Dickens “44” Bascom (b. 1944), and they opened the Unknown Museum the following year. When Bascom moved overseas, McGowan continued as “resident curator” of the #UnknownMuseum—a position he still holds today. #MickeyMcGowan This tweet was posted on June 27, 2023.
