 El Museo Latino - Omaha 

Unfortunately, we didn't get in a chance to enter the museum.  We were looking forward to being able to browse through this museum but the clock was not on our side.  We do plan on returning sometime in the future.  Having come from Schuyler, we've had many years of contact with Hispanics.  Helping them as customers when I worked at Country General, being helped by them when we were customers, as employers when we had two Hispanic girls working in our computer store or soybean walking crews before Roundup came along, and many other occasions.  We've been to family events with them and Spanish speaking church services (OK, that wasn't so great.  I didn't understand anything).  However, through all this we've never gained much in the way of understanding their culture.


From what we learned from these two girls, this museum is well on it's way to getting a huge upgrade.  The building is going through extensive remodeling with a lot of work yet to come.  I expect it will be really interesting by next year.
