GUELPH, ON, October 28, 2014: Guelph Museums is hosting MunschFest on
Saturday, November 8, and Sunday, November 9, to mark the close of the
Much More Munsch exhibition.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see
the exhibit one last time, and participate in a number Munsch-related
crafts and activities.
Among
the activities planned is a Munsch-a-Thon, in which museum staff and
special guests read as many Robert Munsch books as possible over the
course of the weekend. Guelph Fire
Chief Shawn Armstrong and Go-Go Grandma Sya Van Geest will be on hand
to read stories. There will also face-painting and mural drawing.
“We
are so proud that Robert Munsch calls Guelph home, and that it is from
here his career as a beloved children’s author launched,” says museum
manager Tammy Adkin.
“This exhibition
has really been embraced by our visitors. We look forward to building
on the exhibition experience and celebrating Robert Munsch and his
stories in a big way during Munschfest.”
Much
More Munsch, a travelling exhibition, was created by the Manitoba
Children’s Museum and the London Regional Children’s Museum. Guelph
Museums received generous support from
Canadian Heritage for the presentation of this exhibition in Guelph.
MunschFest is
free with museum admission.
Guelph
Civic Museum is located at 52 Norfolk St. Admission is $4 adults, $3
children, students and seniors, and $10 for a family, including up to
two adults and three children.
