As the Museum prepares to open its new exhibit on BC’s gold rush, archivist Ann ten Cate will take a behind-the-scenes look at how the exhibit is being produced. The journey from the beginnings of an idea to a finished product is a long, collaborative process between curatorial, design and exhibit production staff – and there are inevitably a few bumps along the way. But bringing BC history to life for an audience that includes children, non-English speakers, and visitors with many different learning styles has been fun. And as an added bonus, the new exhibit will include quite a few treasures from the archival collections. Get a sneak peak by coming to this lecture.
