A museum only exists through the stories it holds. To make sure ours belongs to everyone, we’re building it with the people who live them. 🏛️✨ Meet our People's Panel: www.migrationmuseum.org/newpeoplespa... A selection of People's Panel Portraits: Elzbieta Piekacz

An image featuring a grid of 18 individual headshots, arranged in three rows of six. Each person is centered and facing the camera with various expressions, ranging from wide smiles to neutral gazes. They are of diverse ages, genders, and race, wearing a variety of casual clothing including sweaters, hoodies, and collared shirts. The background for every portrait is a consistent, colorful mosaic wall with a repetitive geometric pattern in shades of blue, red, and green.
