The Aurora History Museum, the Aurora Office of International and Immigrant Affairs and Aurora's Filipino community recently hosted a celebration for the opening of the new exhibition “Mosaic of Cultures: Aurora’s Filipino Community."

The “Mosaic of Cultures” series promotes understanding of Aurora’s culturally diverse populations while incorporating the voices of those local communities into the city’s history. For the creation of the exhibition, the Aurora History Museum conducted a community outreach campaign to capture the perspective of the Filipino people in Aurora and receive crucial feedback on how they wanted to be represented in this unique exhibit.

The Filipino community in Aurora represents a rich tapestry of traditions, customs and cultural practices. From vibrant festivals to traditional music and dance, the Filipino community has added a unique and colorful dimension to the cultural fabric of the city. The exhibition will allow residents and visitors to learn about and appreciate the diverse cultural heritage.

The exhibition will run through April 2027 at the Aurora History Museum.
