For more than 20 years the Mariposa Museum and World Cultural Center has been exploring the richness and diversity of multi-cultural and multi-racial creativity throughout the world. Located in the historic red-brick Baptist Church building in the center of town, the Mariposa museum offers a hands-on adventure celebrating the cultures and creativity of people from all corners of the globe. The exhibits are mostly interactive and include the costume and puppet alcove and the top-floor musical instrument collection, where visitors are encouraged to experiment. The latest exhibition is a wonderfully crafted textile story of the origins of our universe, created by a group of very talented women from the Koponang community in South Africa.
