Hmong Cultural Center has big plans for the Hmong History Center and Library going forward! Our hope is to build a one of a kind educational and research institution that will attract residents of Minneapolis-St. Paul and visitors to the area to learn about the Hmong Minnesotan experience and Hmong history and culture. With this goal in mind, we are currently seeking funding support to accomplish the following in 2016-17:
- The Development of a Comprehensive Marketing Plan to enable our center to bring in sizable numbers of visitors interested in learning about Hmong culture and history to the Frogtown neighborhood located on the Green Line LRT in Saint Paul.
- A Major Expansion of the Holdings of our Hmong Resource Center Library supported by a Library Services Technology Act grant from the Minnesota Department of Education and the Institute for Museum and Library Services as well as a new Children's Corner supported by the Moneygram Foundation.
- New Furniture, Shelving and Display Cases in the Hmong Resource Center Library.
- Efforts to raise grant funds for the inclusion of an exciting audio-visual educational component to our exhibit center in which visitors could watch and listen to Qeej instrument songs and orally recited Wedding and Funeral songs taught at Hmong Cultural Center as well as performances of other traditional Hmong musical instruments including the Two-String Violin, Flute and Ncas (Mouth Harp).
