COFFEE & CULTURE
If you have been in our Connections gallery, you have probably seen the polar bear, the giant squid, the whale bones, and fossils. Have you ever wondered where the rest of our natural history collection is stored? How the specimens are preserved? Who takes care of it all?
Join us to find out what goes on behind the scenes at our Natural History Facility on Parade Street from a special presentation with our Natural History Collections Manager, Nathalie Djan-Chekar, who can answer all your questions and more!
Non-Member Ticket Price: $11.50 (HST Included)
This program is free for members but space is limited so please ensure you reserve your ticket online or by calling 757-8090.
Events & Programs
Taking inspiration from Toby Rabinowitz’s exhibition, A World Within A World, visitors can choose an animal silhouette provided by us and decorate it with brightly-coloured patterns using various shapes and materials.
Toby’s artwork is full of bright, imagined worlds with magical creatures and friends playing together. She says her work is for kids and happy adults – make sure you stop in to look for yourself in the art gallery on level 4.
What magical creature will you create?
Drop-in program – no registration is required.
