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: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:

SUMMARY:Guelph Pipe Band: Celebrating 100 Years

Bill Flanigan\, Jim McHaffie\, Alex Livingstone\, Jimmy Ferguson\, Art Corstorphine\, Tom Patterson\, John Corstorphine\, Dave Fulton\, and two drummers (unknown). 1992.33.1\, Guelph Museums \nThe creation of a pipe band was inspired by the Guelph Burns Club\, which celebrated poet Robbie Burns in the local Scottish diaspora. To fund the band\, a Tag Day campaign raised $72 and the Victoria-Guelph Chapter of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire collected $500. The Guelph Pipe Band was officially formed in the fall of 1922. \nMembers of the band served with the Highland Light Infantry during the Second World War. Guelph’s Pipe Major Art Corstorphine led the Canadian bands as they marched into Berlin in 1945. After the war\, the Guelph Pipe Band competed in the Ontario highland games circuit\, under Pipe Major Bob Whittle. \nIn 1968\, Whittle and Lead Drummer Andy Donachie led the band to fifth place in their class at the World Pipe Band Championships in Grangemouth\, Scotland. As a competitive soloist\, Edward Neigh was one of the first non-Scottish players to win the Dunvegan medal\, a prize sought by pipers around the world. In 1976\, the Guelph Pipe Band captured the North American Championship in Grade II. In 1977\, they were the first Canadian band to win the Intercontinental Pipe Band Championship at the Scottish World Festival in Toronto.\nToday\, the Guelph Pipe Band celebrates 100 years under Pipe Major Tyler Bridge and Lead Drummer Thomas Litherland. \nPhotograph taken at the Cambridge Highland Games by Meagan Young \n\nWatch History Bites: Guelph Pipe Band at 100 Years with Guelph Museums curator Dawn Owen\, and past and present band members Tyler Bridge\, Jim McGillivray\, Ellen Mole\, Marilyn Willis\, Larry Willis and more! \nPart 1:\n \nPart 2:

SUMMARY:It Happened Here: Illuminating Guelph
DESCRIPTION:Banner Image: Dining Room at American Hotel circa 1910\, 2013.72.90\, Guelph Museums \nStep out of the darkness and into the light! On this episode of It Happened Here with Education Coordinator Ken Irvine\, we’re illuminating the history of gas and electricity in Guelph\, Ontario. \n“Guelph’s town council was very eager to find some way to bring light and potential prosperity to the city. In the 1860’s\, 25 kerosene streetlamps were erected at a cost of $5.75 each\, to bring some light to the downtown. To save money they were only lit when the moon was not out. The town hall caretaker\, Mr. William Edwards\, was given the job of lighting the streetlamps. With his ladder and small 2 wheeled cart he was out every evening to light the lamps and every morning to put the lights out\, fill them with kerosene\, trim the wicks and clean the glass.” \nThis episode will premiere Thursday\, October 6\, at 7 pm on Facebook\, Instagram\, and Youtube. Tune in to learn more.

SUMMARY:History Bites: From the Vault - Uranium Glass and Marie Curie
DESCRIPTION:Marie Curie was a Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. One of the women featured in Iron Willed: Women in STEM\, Marie discovered polonium and radium\, championed the use of radiation in medicine and drastically changed our understanding of radioactivity. \nCurie’s scientific journey began by studying radiation\, recently discovered in uranium by Henri Becquerel. She found that an ore containing uranium was far more radioactive than could be explained by its uranium content. In this special episode of History Bites: From the Vault\, Visitor Experiences Assistant Anna will take you into our collection to explore the history of Uranium Glass! \nHistory Bites is a monthly series of bite-sized conversations inspired by current exhibitions and stories from the collection. \n\nWatch the episode:

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: Missing Memorials? How Canada has Commemorated the Second World War
DESCRIPTION:Banner image: King George VI and Queen Elizabeth unveiling the National War Memorial in Ottawa\, May 22\, 1939. Toronto Star Photograph Archive\, TSPA_0122512F. \nThe war memorials that dot communities across the country are the sites of the most important public ceremonies of the civic calendar. They hearken back to our history\, they help us remember our war dead\, and they help us envision the future. But they have histories of their own.  \nThis talk by Thomas Littlewood presents new research which reconsiders our understandings of these memorials\, when they were built\, and what they mean. \n\nAbout Thomas Littlewood:\nThomas Littlewood is a PhD candidate at the University of Guelph. His research considers how Canada has commemorated the Second World War. Originally from New Brunswick\, Thomas is interested in how local communities engage with their pasts—this includes commemoration\, museums\, and memory. He has degrees from Mount Allison University\, the University of New Brunswick\, and Western University. \n \nGuelph Museums’ Military Lecture series is presented in partnership with the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada. \n \n  \n\nMissed the live event?
