Mao Lor is a Green Bay artist and maker who has been creating Hmoob paj ntaub (Hmong textiles) that convey the vitality of Hmoob art, history, and culture for over forty years. The exhibition features three dozen of Lor’s intricately hand-sewn and embroidered artworks, which include pieces using traditional methods and patterns and those that reflect contemporary innovations used for storytelling.

The exhibition is organized by the Paine Art Center and Gardens in partnership with the Hmong Studies program at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.

We are pleased to offer free admission to Brown County residents from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. the first Wednesday of the month! 

Not only is admission FREE all day, so is the project we will be making from 10:00 am to noon. After noon the project will be available in take-home kits while supplies last.

Green Bay native and Neville summer intern Abby Pavek fondly recalls family trips to the Neville Public Museum growing up: “My parents would always bring (us) but we would have to avoid the ice cave because my little brother was scared of Stompy.” The imposing Proboscidea continues to loom large at the Neville, where Abby hopes to get experience with the museum side of anthropology careers.

Presently studying Cultural Anthropology at UW Lacrosse, Abby admits to not yet having a clear vision for her professional future, but would “love to do something that focuses on the intersection of art and culture.”

During her time at the Neville she loved being able to ride in the dugout canoe and learning about the process it takes to make one. She hopes to learn more about possible directions she can take anthropology as a career, and leave with more knowledge and connections. “Museums are a place to learn more about who you are, where you are, and what is/was happening in the world. Museums also spark connection and conversation.”

In 1859, Darwin published On the Origin of Species, in which he argued that all life forms are related through common descent and that different species emerged (and continue to emerge) as a result of natural selection. It is widely considered to be one of the most important books in science.

But he didn’t dream it up one day walking in the park. It was the result of what he saw on a five year voyage around the world, studying the plants and animals of South America, the Galápagos Islands, and Australia, followed by years of research and experimentation. And his perspective and conclusions were only possible in light of then-recent geological and paleontological discoveries.

Darwin & Dinosaurs is a story-based, interactive exhibit that sets the stage before Darwin’s famous voyage, follows him around the world as he finds clues indicating life evolves, and concludes with modern discoveries that have proved him right. Fascinating, engaging and, most importantly, educational, D&D lets visitors see the world as Darwin did. 

Discover famed American children's author and cartoonist known for his work writing and illustrating more than 60 books under the pen name Dr. Seuss. His work includes many of the most popular children's books of all time. The exhibit features a collection that consists of original character illustrations created by Dr. Seuss, as well as a collection of his "Unorthodox Taxidermy". There are also bronze sculptures of some of his most famous characters.
