Through education programs, exhibits, performances and workshops, we provide a unique place for children, seniors and adults to celebrate our common humanity. We believe that when people respect and understand each other, the world will have more peace and less war. Vision Statement The Mariposa is a passport to the world. Our unique hands-on approach encourages people to explore the world through all their senses. With a special focus on children and education, we use art and everyday objects, folklore and mythology, traditions and stories to broaden awareness of both the differences and common ground between cultures. The Mariposa is an essential resource for the Greater Monadnock community and beyond. People visit again and again to celebrate humanity’s shared heritage. When children are raised with respect and curiosity towards other cultures, the world will know more peace and less war.
