We Are Water Minnesota

ABOUT THIS EXHIBIT

For the Hmong American community, our relationship with water threads through history and culture. The way we gather around water in the past and present has transformed from survival and trauma to happy and fun memories. In partnership with the Minnesota Humanities Center (MHC), Hmong Museum shares the experiences of the Hmong American community’s connection with water through a storytelling. Learn more about MHC on their website >
