October 18, 2025 Exhibit Launch Event - Treasures and Curiosities

The Galt Museum would like to offer a huge thank you to everyone who came out to the Treasures and Curiosities exhibition launch on Saturday, October 18th.

We welcomed 112 guests, which is incredible!  People mingled and spent lots of time chatting, sharing stories, and connecting with the objects on display. The second half of the exhibit launch featured Sheldon Smithens from Canadian Pickers lore, who facilitated a very fun on-site object appraisal.

So much effort went into the development of this exhibit, and we’d like to send out a hearty thank you to the community members who found time to select objects from the collection, and our own staff and volunteers for making the whole thing come together in such a wonderful way.

Please enjoy these highlights from the event!
