“Hmong at Heart” Children’s Museum exhibit

 

The Minnesota Children’s Museum is featuring a new exhibit titled “Hmong at Heart,” which will run through Jan. 19 at the museum in St. Paul.

The exhibit allows visitors to view the everyday lives of Hmong people in three environments: A village in Laos, a refugee camp in Thailand and a Hmong-American home.

Visitors can create bead patterns, view Hmong artifacts, learn everyday Hmong phrases, plot out 50 acres of farmland and take part in a creative writing poetry station.

The museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and weekends, and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays. Admission is $7.95 for the general public and free for members.

The museum is at Seventh and Wabasha streets in downtown St. Paul. For more information, call (651) 225-6000.
