Neville Public Museum Exhibit -- Who Are the Hmong?
The Neville Public Museum in downtown Green Bay features an important exhibit titled Who Are the Hmong from September 29, 2012 - May 12, 2013. The exhibit explores the Hmong transition to the United States and their successful adaptation to their new country. It describes the harrowing experience of Hmong men and boys who fought as allies alongside Americans in the Vietnam War. It reveals the traditional Hmong culture that has survived for thousands of years through wars and migration. In answering the question, Who are the Hmong?, the exhibition hopes to foster an understanding of the Hmong community and create deeper connections with our new neighbors.
As part of their celebration of Hmong Culture in the United States, the Neville Public Museum will host a series of talks and presentations. The current talk is by Xia Moua, a UW-Green Bay graduate, on Hmong Entrepreneurs.
