Join us for a unique and intimate tour of Test Kitchen: A Museum Project and an object handling session where you’ll engage directly with works from the Museum’s Education Collection. Guided by Senior Curator Dr. Karine Tsoumis and Collections Manager Christina MacDonald, this tactile experience will give you a deeper understanding of different ceramic bodies while learning about an object’s history and cultural significance.
About the Exhibition
Test Kitchen: A Museum Project is part exhibition, part workshop, and part ideas generator. As we reimagine our collections galleries, we’re asking ourselves how we can better explore ceramics of the past and present and tell new stories. Test Kitchen opens up this process, which usually happens behind closed doors, making museum work more transparent and inviting visitors to collaborate through a series of hands-on activities. Throughout, visitors are encouraged to observe closely, make, discuss, and offer feedback while exploring the nature of museum work. Learn more
