About the project: 

The MMM-workstream produces hundreds of memes per month on public goods, web3, the open internet and the other values Gitcoin and GitcoinDAO cares about. Right now these memes get lost and forgotten as new memes pop up.

The Meme museum aims to help fix this by celebrating great memes and great meme artists by curating memes, displaying them, telling stories about them, and making it easy for anyone to visit the digital museum, and share them to help push forward the spirit of GitcoinDAO-

The meme-generator could live under the same roof to let visitors of the site quickly create their own memes with the help of templates and resources.
