Mosaic of Cultures: Aurora’s Nepali Community

A Mosaic of Cultures: Aurora’s Nepali Community

The Aurora History Museum and the Office of International and Immigrant Affairs will celebrate Aurora’s Nepali population with a new exhibition, “A Mosaic of Cultures: Aurora’s Nepali Community,” set to open from May 2024 to April 2025.

“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 Nepali community’s contributions to the overall history of the city and highlight individuals, businesses owners and their cultural traditions and history. The exhibit will showcase vibrant aspects of the community, such as popular music, art, dance, religion and popular foods.

The Aurora History Museum understands the necessity of creating exhibitions that allow for greater community participation and invites community organizations and Aurora residents to guide this exhibit by sharing their ideas.

By contributing to this exhibit, participants will help preserve and celebrate the Nepali community’s contributions to the city of Aurora. Community organizations and businesses will also have the opportunity to promote their social and economic impact on Aurora.
