The concept of ethnic galleries is, they say, unique to the Imperial County Museum. It was part of the concept when they moved from the old building in the County Fairground to the new building on Imperial Valley College property right across from the campus. The museum opened Oct. 2, 1991. The Columbus Day opening kept the Cocopah Indians from joining and they've not come in to this day.
