The Aurora History Museum and the city of Aurora Office of International and Immigrant Affairs will celebrate Aurora’s Mexican population with the exhibition, “Mosaic of Cultures: Aurora’s Mexican Community.” “The people of Mexican descent who call Aurora home come from all walks of life and have their own individual stories of immigration,” said Aurora History Museum Director Scott Williams.

For the creation of the exhibition, the Aurora History Museum conducted community outreach in English and Spanish. The community perspective received crucial feedback that shaped the exhibit, which showcases vibrant aspects, such as popular music, art, dance, clothing, popular food and religion, all of great cultural and traditional significance to Aurora’s Mexican Community.

Individuals, business owners, artists

“Mosaic of Cultures” is a series of exhibitions that promote understanding of the increasing cultural diversity in the city and incorporate the voices of local communities into Aurora’s History Museum. The new exhibit aims to increase awareness of the Mexican community’s contributions to the overall history of the city, including highlighting individuals, business owners, cultural traditions and history.
