We may be closed but there are still plenty of ways to explore art, culture and nature - from a safe distance, of course. For the next few weeks we’ll be sharing fun activities, virtual gallery tours, in-depth articles, and some throwbacks to your old favourites.
While we all do our part staying home, let's stay connected on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and right here in your inbox. | | | | The Museum is home to a world-class collection of 13 million artworks, cultural objects, and natural history specimens.
