The Emigrant’s Trunk
Historic
accounts of early pioneers often reference an “emigrant’s trunk” –
the physical container holding all the essentials for a long ocean
voyage, the trade or agricultural tools needed for new settlement,
and, that one special object that just could not be left behind.
Using the theme of a settler’s trunk, this collaborative exhibit
features the special objects brought to London by recent
immigrants along with the stories the objects tell about a home left
behind.
This
exhibit is open Tuesday through Thursday, 10:00a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Admission is by donation. Please join us on Saturday May 17th at 12:30
p.m.
for a special exhibit launch.
Presented in partnership with the Cross Cultural Learner Centre (CCLC)
