LOCATION
On the banks of the Mississippi River, Harriet Island Regional Park is the ideal location for the Minnesota Latino Museum. We are grateful for the support and collaboration of the City of Saint Paul on this project:
The park is the only location in St. Paul that is both part of the West Side and Downtown. The West Side is the only Latino-focused cultural district in MN. The Downtown cultural district hosts many of MN’s most prominent museums, including the Science Museum, Children’s Museum, the Museum of American Art. The Minnesota Latino Museum will tie West Side communities to the downtown museum district. The location also ensures adequate annual funding from the City.
