Perth Museum

Happy Heritage Day! We are with Lanark County Arts & Heritage and fellow heritafe and museum colleagues at @ottawacity today. #heritageday #ottawaheritageday #lanarkcountyartsandheritage

Thank you for inuding us, @kingstonmuseums!

@Wessex_Gent We're happy to share the name, but you're tagging us over in Perth, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦

A rare victory for understatement and quiet common sense. #PerthMuseum

Today is an opportunity to recognize and reflect on the rich traditions, cultures, experiences and heritage of First Nation, Inuit, and Métis peoples and celebrate their achievements and contributions to our province and country.

For #Creators we are showcasing @littlemsottawa, who has included us in her Perth guide (and she took this pic!). Want to check it out? Find it on her blog and over at PERTH.ca/TOURISM #creatorsMW #mycreations #myreels #myNFT #mypaintings #mymusic #museumweek

We are thrilled to re-open the third floor after renovations. This space promotes highlights the innovations in industries that helped to shape early commerce in Perth. #innovation #socialimpact #equality #culture4all #accesstoculture #innovationmw #InnovationMW

@beth_halfkenny Thank you for everything! We're aiming to reopen the third floor for the busy season.

@perthmuseum Excited to see the exhibit again - was able to help build the exhibit years ago with other Ottawa Gatineau Geoheritage Project folks - such an important Canadian collection and housed beautifully in the marvellous Matheson House.

Thank you @beth_halfkenny! Yes, we have Climactichinites on display in the mineral gallery, too! The third floor is closed for repainting at the moment, but we will reopen the gallery soon. #perthproud q

In light of current COVID-19 measures, the Perth Museum and Visitor Information Centre will be closed for the month of January. We hope that we will be able to reopen in February. Further updates will be posted here.

Perth Museum's own Debbie Sproule was interviewed by @tvo recently for the Roadside Attractions series. You can read all about the Mammoth Cheese monument here: tvo.org/article/roadsi…

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

We have a small #MammothCheese exhibit in the Visitor Information Centre and we reopen our doors by appointment on Thursday! And/or, check out the life size replica at the Tay Basin. #perthproud

I see your lion sampler @BytownMuseum and agree it's on point, but have you seen our kitty in the kitchen? She loves basking in the sunlight and soaking up the heat from the fire. #BestCat #CuratorBattle

Perth's Flora Madeline Shaw was a nationally & internationally recognized pioneer of nursing & nursing education, & was appointed the first Director of the Canadian Nurses' Association. #NursesWeek #InternationalNursesDay #MuseumWeek2020 #CultureInQuarantineMW #museumsconnecton

@CatsCove @TheSimpsons Yes! We go back and forth between the present day, a few months into the future, a few months ago, and the year 1840.

Do you think back to specific phases of quarantine life? Me: Remember when we watched The Simpsons, like, every night? Husband: That was 10 days ago. #Quarantine #StayHome @TheSimpsons

For #NursesWeek2020 and #MuseumWeek2020, we're sharing the fascinating Johanna "Joan" Matheson. See our FB or Instagram for more to the story. #HeroesMW #perthproud #mayismuseummonth #museumsconnecton
