Join us for a series of bite-sized conversations inspired by current exhibitions and stories from the collection.

This History Bites session featuring a deep dive into the collection vaults. We’ll be looking into the museum’s collection of cookbooks and cooking tools. From Second World War rationing to a Covid Community Cookbook, and all the happier times in between, this session will tell you the story of Guelph through the food we eat.
