The Aurora History Museum is thrilled to announce the new Aurora Speaks exhibit, a rich tapestry of community stories brought to life. Opening Tuesday, Dec. 10 at the Community Gallery of the Aurora History Museum, 15051 E. Alameda Parkway, this unique collection features a diverse array of narratives and poems, each crafted by local voices that reflect Aurora's heart and soul.

The Aurora Speaks exhibition, created in collaboration with the city of Aurora Poet Laureate, Ahja Fox, invites visitors to explore the intimate and powerful perspectives of the city's residents, offering a profound understanding of what Aurora truly means to its people. The poetry on display was selected from over 100 entries by local authors, highlighting the immense talent in Aurora's community. It will remain open until Feb. 16, 2025.
