History
Dave Arnold founded and chartered the Museum in 2005, but it remained an idea until 2011. In 2013, Arnold and Museum Executive Director Peter Kim raised over $100,000 through a Kickstarter campaign for the Museum's first exhibition.
The first exhibit, which debuted in New York in August, 2013, was the result of the campaign: a 3,200 pound puffing machine, also called a puff gun. The puffing machine is part of a cereal-focused traveling exhibit.
In 2015, the Museum gained the support of its first major sponsor, Infiniti, which helped fund a permanent space. The museum opened MOFAD Lab, a 5,000-square-foot gallery space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
