SUMMARY:Where The Rivers Meet
DESCRIPTION:Where The Rivers Meet is a display within the City Gallery that centers the Original Peoples who have been on this land since time immemorial. It includes information about migration\, land relationship\, treaties\, impacts of colonization\, and past and present-day perspectives. The display also considers the founding story of Guelph within the context of a longer history lens. \nThis display is a living exhibition that reflects the truth as we understand it today. We continue to learn from our treaty partner\, the Missisaugas of the Credit First Nation\, and from Indigenous people who call Guelph home today. The display will continue to be updated as our knowledge grows.

SUMMARY:Between the Crosses\, Row on Row: 100 Years of the Remembrance Poppy
DESCRIPTION:During the First World War\, the horrors of trench warfare\, poison gas and tanks wrought carnage never before seen. About 9 million military personnel and 20 million civilians lost their lives in The Great War. \nThe devastation of war created fertile ground for the Papaver rhoeas to take seed and grow. Poppy seeds can remain dormant in the soil for as long as 100 years. Trench digging\, bombs\, and mass cemeteries caused millions of poppies to bloom in the disrupted soil across Europe. The common poppy would become the symbol of wartime sacrifice and remembrance. \nBeginning with Guelph-born Lt. Col. John McCrae’s 1915 poem “In Flanders Fields”\, this exhibition tells the story of the poppy as it evolved to be an enduring symbol of remembrance in Canada and around the world. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				The Poppy\, Decoration Day 1921\, Canadian War Museum 19720228-001\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Cover of Guelph Horticultural Society Annual\, Flowering Shrub\, Hedge and Vine Issue\, 1972\nGuelph Museums 1987.44.14\n				\n		\n\nBanner Image: https://www.discoveringbelgium.com/the-poppies-of-flanders/\n

SUMMARY:Moving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries
DESCRIPTION:Image: Two Rivers (2018)\, featuring storytellers Jim Hunt (left) and Tia Carey Wong (far right) with community story advocate Jenny Mitchell (centre) \nMoving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries marks the end of a multi-year collaboration in three of Guelph’s vibrant neighbourhoods – Two Rivers\, Onward Willow\, and Brant Avenue – where we explored two driving questions: What makes a place home? How do communities change over time? \nLaunched in 2018\, Moving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries formed as a series of actual and virtual bus tours\, featuring intergenerational storytellers and led by community story advocate Jenny Mitchell. In Two Rivers (2018) and Onward Willow (2019)\, people from across Guelph stepped onto a bus and travelled with the storytellers. In 2021\, a virtual bus toured Brant Avenue\, with the participants tuning in from the comfort of their own homes. \nThe bus tours were filmed and the footage produced as three short docs. The films capture the storytellers\, who shared their memories\, lived perspectives\, and personal anecdotes in the places they call home. The films will premiere in the exhibition\, surrounded by artifacts\, images\, and histories of each neighbourhood\, drawn from the collections at Guelph Museums. \nThe exhibition also explores Guelph’s local film history\, recognizing the power of film in storytelling. From the cinemas and theatres that dotted the city’s entertainment landscape to feature productions shot locally\, where – through movie magic – Guelph became other places\, both real and fictional. \nEqual parts lived history and historic fact\, Moving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries centres the stories and storytellers who shape and imagine community and home – past\, present and future. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Royal Theatre\, 1938\, Courtesy of William Cardinell\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Houses in the Ward\, 1975\, Guelph Museums 2013.39.128\n				\n		\n\nEnjoy the trailers for the three short documentaries: \nMoving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries\, Two Rivers or “The Ward”\n \nMoving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries\, Brant\n \nMoving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries\, Onward Willow\n \n\nWatch History Bites: Moving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries: \n \nMoving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries is a partnership between Guelph Museums and the Guelph Film Festival\, with support from CFRU 93.3 FM and the Guelph Neighbourhood Support Coalition. \nThis project is funded in part by a grant from The Guelph Community Foundation – Musagetes Fund. \n \n

SUMMARY:Witnessing War
DESCRIPTION:Banner: Lyn Westfall\, The Poppy and the Wellington\, 2016 (acrylic on canvas\, detail) \nThis year marks 150 years since the birth of Lt. Col. John McCrae (1872-1918). An esteemed doctor\, soldier and poet\, McCrae is remembered for his wartime poem “In Flanders Fields\,” which he wrote from the trenches near Ypres\, Belgium\, on 3 May 1915. \nMcCrae was a keen observer of the people and places he visited. In addition to his letters and poetry\,\nhe made many sketches. Over his lifetime\, he wrote dozens of poems and made innumerable drawings. \nAlthough the poet McCrae is often celebrated\, Witnessing War takes a closer look at his drawings\, in graphite and ink\, many of which are held in Guelph Museums’ collection. When considered together\, McCrae’s poems and drawings offer an impression of his inner solitude. \n\n\n\n	“Pickerel Island Ahmic Lake”\, 1892\, John McCrae\, Guelph Museums M1996X.1.1.22 \n\n\n	“Telephone Poles”\, 1890\, John McCrae\, Guelph Museums M1996X.21.1 \n\n\n	"Tarpaulin Cove"\, 1892\, John McCrae\, Guelph Museums M1996.1.1.17 \n\n\n\n\nShaped and inspired by McCrae’s creative expressions\, Witnessing War features drawings\, paintings and sculptures by local and national artists\, spanning 100 years of art as a salve to war. \nThe exhibition includes art works made in response to the six global conflicts in which Canada has fought: South African War (1899-1902)\, First World War (1914-1918)\, Second World War (1939-1945)\, Korean War (1950-1953)\, Persian Gulf War (1990-1991)\, and Afghanistan War (2001-2014). \nWitnessing War also considers responsive works by artists with connections to Guelph and the surrounding region\, who explore themes of human conflict in their art. \n\nWatch History Bites: Is Art a Salve to War? with with contemporary artists Anong Migwans Beam\, Anique Jordan\, Barbara Todd\, and Lyn Westfall\, whose work is featured in this exhibition:
