“We are so honored to be able to share UPC’s many accomplishments through this exhibit and to preserve these historically significant artifacts.” – Abbie Rogers, Curator

The Grand Opening of the Uncooped Museum honoring chickens was held January 9-12, 2014 in Los Angeles. Created by the National Museum of Animals & Society with support from United Poultry Concerns, the exhibit is fantastic! It will be up through March, so please visit 4302 Melrose Avenue corner of Heliotrope Drive if you are in or near Los Angeles. For more information, please see www.museumofanimals.org (archive.org).

And please visit the permanent Uncooped Museum online at www.uncooped.org (archive.org). This permanent collection includes photographs, illustrations, paintings, essays, interviews, videos, artifacts, and campaign materials capturing the many ways in which chickens have been perceived and treated by humans, how they have suffered and died and recovered and rejoiced and been loved, cherished, honored, tortured, murdered, maligned and advocated for from the past to the present. Uncooped was inspired by UPC’s International Respect for Chickens Day May 4/Month of May.
