MAI VANG

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HMONG MUSEUM

I am excited about the possibility of permanently preserving Hmong history and share the ever-expanding history of our heritage.

Mai Vang is Collections Manager for the Minnesota Museum of American Art. She is a passionate museum enthusiast with extensive experience in collection care and curation, exhibit development, museum education, and grant writing. Hmong Museum is the first and currently only museum dedicated to the preservation and education of Hmong culture, history, stories, and arts. We do this through the creation and collaboration of programs

VOICES OF THE NORTH END is dedicated to raising the visibility of North End residents and community goers.  Over the past few years In Progress interviewed and photographed individuals and families that consider the neighborhood their home. In Progress worked in partnership with the City of Saint Paul to identify residents willing to share their stories about what they appreciate most about the neighborhood.

VOICES OF THE NORTH END is sponsored by the Knight Foundation and Saint Paul Foundation
