Meme Ranch is an artist-founded Meme Museum established in 2020, in the Oklahoma City Metro and on the world wide web.
MISSION
Meme Ranch - The Museum of Memes is dedicated to preserving and celebrating meme culture as living generational artifacts. We view memes not just as fleeting internet jokes, but as powerful cultural markers that capture the humor, values, anxieties, and identities of distinct age cohorts - from Boomer irony and Millennial nostalgia to Gen Z surrealism and beyond.
By integrating generational theory into our curatorial model, we explore how memes reflect and shape the unique cultural moments, communication styles, and worldview shifts across generations. Each exhibit treats viral images, reaction formats, and absurd formats as historical documents- digital relics that document how societies laugh, cope, and connect in real time.
Here are some examples of how memes serve as generational markers:
From classic framed meme "masterpieces" to timelines of evolving humor, we invite you to step into the museum where internet culture meets generational storytelling. Welcome to Meme Ranch - where memes become history.
