Join us in experiencing our exhibit Treasures from Our Roots, a testament of family heirlooms and sentimental pieces that showcase rich culture and family heritage. Explore the family ties that intertwine our vastly different pieces. In this exhibit, we have on display not only what is visible to the eye but also a connection to the way in which family influences and shapes fashion. As you go through our exhibit notice the different textures and colours of the pieces. Take a closer look at the work that went into creating each object on display. In this collection that we have put together, we have an amber ring passed down from mother to daughter, a Cultivo de la vida dress crafted by a grandmother for her granddaughter, a Chunni (Scarf) given to me by my mother. A gho (Bhutanese Men’s National Dress) that was given to me by my grandfather. These pieces are linked in an exhibit that honours the lasting bonds of family, heritage, and culture through heirlooms that tell stories across generations. Let our display remind us of the things that truly bind us together, family history, and the legacies we continue to shape.
Echo’s of Her is an exploration of a feminine experience. This exhibit features a curated selection of personal belongings, each filled with a unique story and emotional resonance. As visitors journey through the exhibit, they are invited to step into the world of femininity, to glimpse their life through their possessions. The white dress whispers of youthful dreams, the ring speaks of love and devotion, the maxi dress evokes images of carefree summer days, and the trinket dish overflows with memories waiting to be unearthed. Ultimately, Echo’s of Her is an invitation to reflect on the lives of those we love, to cherish the memories we share, and to find solace in the enduring power of connection.
This exhibit honors the beauty and significance of cherished garments and jewelry passed down through generations of women. Each piece tells a unique story: a handmade sweater symbolizing warmth and care, a prom dress capturing youthful dreams, a mother’s necklace representing enduring family bonds, and a vintage dress with a matching coat from a grandmother, reflecting timeless elegance. Together, these items form a tapestry of memories and milestones, illustrating the strength, grace, and love that connect women across time.
This exhibition explores the transformative power of clothing, from the grand gestures of a wedding dress to the intimate stories hidden in a simple sweater. Each garment is a chapter in a unique journey, a symbol of growth, love, and personal style. From vintage wedding accessories carrying the weight of history to beloved pants that have defied expectations, "Halfway There" celebrates the evolution of fashion and the stories they tell.
‘Inherited Pieces From Around The World’ cultivates assorted pieces that have personal significance to each of the curators of this exhibit. These items have a rich history as they all originated outside of Canada and as the name would suggest, they were collected from around the world. Whether they were brought over through immigration, importation, or general travel, these items were brought to Canada and reflect the diversity of Canada as a melting pot of cultures.
