In a city brimming with historic sites, the New Mausoleum stands as a curious monument. Why “new” you ask? Well, this building, once home to Finney & Son, a mausoleum and burial monument manufacturer, has been repurposed. Today, the New Mausoleum, or PhilaMOCA as it’s more commonly known, is a hub of contemporary art. It’s an intriguing example of how Philadelphia breathes new life into its historic spaces. The New Mausoleum isn’t your typical stuffy museum. This place pulsates with energy. It hosts a quirky blend of events: from film screenings to burlesque shows, even wrestling-themed art exhibits. The New Mausoleum champions the local underground arts scene, providing a space for artists to experiment and showcase their work. Even its history is a testament to its rebellious spirit. Remember the zoning issues that temporarily closed PhilaMOCA in 2019? That wasn’t the end. The community rallied, raising funds and awareness, eventually leading to its triumphant return. The New Mausoleum is a testament to Philadelphia’s resilience and its unwavering support for the arts. So, next time you’re in Philadelphia, skip the traditional tourist traps and head to the New Mausoleum. You might just discover your new favorite band, witness a mind-bending performance, or experience art in a way you never thought possible.
