Treasures & Curiosities - Exhibit Opening Celebration

Join us in celebrating our newest temporary exhibitions that feature nearly 200 objects on display! Treasures & Curiosities welcomes the community to see the collection up close. We’ve invited over 100 community members to choose items from the museum’s collection to showcase and share stories about their picks. Through this exhibition, we’re excited to make new memories and connections.

 
This exhibition opening will celebrate all the selections made by community participants and recognize the work of over a dozen volunteers who supported them. Join us in the fun and wonder—what Treasures & Curiosities will you discover?

As a special feature during this exhibition opening, we’re also excited to feature an Antiques Roadshow with “Canadian Pickers” star Sheldon Smithens! As the owner of Smithens Antiques since 1992, he also teaches courses for the University of Calgary and has conducted appraisals for numerous museums across the prairies.

Want to get your own treasures or curiosities appraised by a professional? The sign-up link will be available soon!
