Welcome to The Compassion Museum

Discover experiences where empathy and compassion come to life, all over the Twin Cities.

A group of people pose in front of a colorful work of Indiginous art. They smile as they look towards the camera. Most appear to be in their early twenties.

The Compassion Museum isn’t a place—it’s an experience.

Through our pop-up interactive exhibits, participatory installations, and immersive programs, we invite you to step into compassion, explore its power, and feel its impact. With the help of our partners, we create spaces for reflection, discovery, and action—where compassion moves from an idea into something you can touch, experience, carry with you—and be supported by.
