Museums, stories and things.

We’re More Ancient than We Think
We’re More Ancient than We Think: An afternoon with April Hawkins, New World Archaeology Collection Technician. They stand at attention, arranged in rows, mute and stationary. Each face is a cartoonish riot captured mid-contortion and yet so still as to appear serene. Even in this fluorescent

Hi, we are the Museum Makers from Session 1 of Summer Club 2013! We made this extraordinary mural for the Royal Ontario Museum. We chose specific drawings to represent different galleries in the museum. For example, we chose different plants and animals to represent the Schad Gallery of
