History

At its founding, Werbel called the PMOMA she called it "her fake museum."[3] OPB noted that PMOMA is "a tiny space that wittily challenges ideas about the nature of museums and the art-watching experience."[4] The project has received recognition in Artforum,[5] among others, and has been supported by the Precipice Fund, The Calligram Foundation, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Regional Arts & Culture Council.[6][7]

In September 2016, PMOMA hosted a residency series, Houseguest, on Pioneer Courthouse Square.[8] The PMOMA showcases contemporary folk art.[9]
