The Somerville Museum celebrated the opening of Museo Inmigrante on January 11 with a sold-out crowd. People stood outside in line waiting to go in and view the opening of the exhibit as the museum experienced a capacity filled room.

For this exhibit, Padres Latinos partnered with award-winning photographers Mario Quiroz and Iaritza Menjivar to explore stories from its members about immigration, home, family, memory, community, and finding purpose. Padres Latinos invites all Somerville residents and visitors across the region to the exhibition.
