This Saturday, May 30, at noon, artist and author Saymoukda Vongsay will be doing a book reading in the atrium, open to all museum visitors.

She will read from her own picture book, "When Everything Was Everything," which beautifully illustrates the Lao-American refugee experience based on her memories of growing up in the Twin Cities. She will also read two other selections from our book wall, which currently highlights AANHPI Month. (A big thanks to Theater Mu for curating this month's book wall selection!)
