As the Kentucky Museum and Kentucky Folklife Program entered the final stages of construction and exhibit preparation, WKU PBS was there to capture it. WKU PBS will be producing a series of videos on the Bowling Green Bosnian American community and our current exhibit A Culture Carried: Bosnians in Bowling Green throughout the semester. This first video is a sneak peak of that footage, and we will add more videos here as they are released. Many thanks to the WKU PBS team for documenting the hard work that’s gone into our project!
