    Celebrate May is Museum Month in Collingwood

    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Explore the lasting popularity of Blue Mountain Pottery in a new temporary exhibit featured in our Community Collectors case.

    Collingwood, ON [01 May 2024] –  The Collingwood Museum is offering a lineup of exciting activities and programs in celebration of museums and all they offer to our communities! From a travelling exhibit from Science North to free admission and extended hours, there’s something for everyone!

    Make your mark at Science North’s travelling exhibition, Our Climate Quest: Small Steps to Big Change! Hosted by the Collingwood Museum, Our Climate Quest will be on display from May 8 to May 29, 2024, on Central Park Arena’s first and second floors at 85 Paterson Street. This exciting exhibit is jam-packed with activities for all ages. Admission is free. 

    Join Museum and Town staff at the Our Climate Quest Kick-Off on Wednesday, May 8 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and be a climate quest hero! Explore the interactive exhibit, chat with Collingwood’s Climate Action Specialist, Nicole Yardy, and complete a scavenger hunt for a chance to win one of two exciting, climate-themed prizes each valued at over $80.00 from the Museum Gift Shop. You’ll also have a chance to win a week of free programs in the Museum’s popular summer programs. 

    Community members, near and far, can access more than 45 episodes of the Collingwood Museum’s podcast, Stories from Another Day. Episodes cover local triumphs, tragedies, and everything in between. The next episode will drop on Tuesday, May 6 at 9:00 a.m. Listen on Spotify or wherever you access your podcasts.  

    Explore the lasting popularity of Blue Mountain Pottery in a new temporary exhibit featured in our Community Collectors case.  This exhibit, produced in partnership with the Blue Mountain Pottery Collectors Club, will dive into the iconic glazes and styles that gained Blue Mountain Pottery worldwide attention. 

    Explore the surprising stories and insights that museum collections can share about museums’ changing values and objectives through the ‘Staff Picks’ temporary exhibition, curated by Collingwood Museum staff. Learn about museums’ unique challenges in caring for collections and interact with never-before-exhibited items that initiate big discussions, touching on everything from the problematic legacy of colonial collecting to conservation and missing outgoing loans.  

    Celebrate International Museum Day on Saturday, May 18, with free admission to the Collingwood Museum between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Make a button, challenge yourself with a scavenger hunt, and more!

    The Collingwood Museum is conveniently located along the Train Trail at 45 St. Paul Street. Admission to the museum is by donation. Regular hours of operation are Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Come by to meet our friendly staff and say hello!  

    For up-to-date information on activities throughout May, follow the Collingwood Museum on Facebook or visit www.collingwood.ca/museum.
