Spotlight: 'We Are Hmong Minnesota' exhibit

Opening Saturday: This November marks the 40th anniversary of the Hmong migration to Minnesota. Members of the ethnic group came to the U.S. to flee the war in Southeast Asia.

The exhibit is divided into three sections: life in Laos, an art installation that evokes transition, and life in Minnesota.
