I waited until my grandfather was on his deathbed before I asked him about his life as a soldier during the Secret War in Laos.

A MUSEUM WITHOUT WALLS
The Hmong Museum in Saint Paul, Minnesota is the first and only Hmong Museum in the nation. As a new start-up, we are currently without walls and instead partner with local cultural organizations to bring engaging inter-generational programs to the community. The Hmong Museum exists to recognize and acknowledge the intersections of all things Hmong. This includes the documenting of arts, history, folk tales, personal and family histories, traditional knowledge, current issues, and many more.
WHO ARE THE HMONG?
The Hmong are an ethnic group from Southeast Asia, some of whom ended up in Minnesota as refugees after 1975 when the Vietnam War ended. The Hmong were allies of the Americans in Laos and fought in a “secret war.” When the war ended many Hmong soldiers and civilians were relocated to the United States and other allied countries.
