MOMus, still socially active and in the present condition, recommends selected works exclusively from its collections and exhibitions in its online program "MOMus Resilience Project". At the same time, MOMus wants to be closer to the people who work, create, express themselves through their homes, and recommends aspects of "home", that is home life, as artists have perceived it to be in tempore non suspecto.

Stephen Antonakos, Chapel of the Celestial Scale, 1995-99

The Chapel of the Celestial Scale, a large scale artwork by the Greek-American artist Stephen Antonakos, is constructed of rusty iron. Through the opening in its roof, the dark interior is exposed to the elements of nature, rain and wind, but mainly to the sun that on summer days ignites the iron. Antonakos' intention was to create a suffocating atmosphere for the visitor, which, however, finds a "way out" in the view of the staircase that rises above the roof opening and is illuminated with neon ―evoking a spiritual experience, a feeling of exaltation, transcendence and liberation.
