The bill proposes an appropriation of $1,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the arts and cultural heritage fund to support the Somali Museum of Minnesota. The funds are intended for a grant to the museum, which will be used to enhance its heritage arts and cultural vitality programs. These programs will include classes, exhibits, and presentations aimed at promoting awareness of the Somali community and its heritage in Minnesota.

Additionally, the funding will help increase the museum's hours of operation and provide free or reduced-fee programming for schools and community events. This initiative aims to foster cultural understanding and engagement within the community while supporting the museum's mission to celebrate and preserve Somali culture.
