Cette exposition est merveilleuse. Je me suis extasiée à tous les tournants.
J’ai vu l’exposition, j’ai trouvé ça fantastique! Dire que j’étais à quelques centimètres des VRAIS « Nic et Pic en ballon »! Pleins de beaux souvenirs de mon enfance, merci!
Un voyage magique à travers les années dans l’univers de toutes les émissions télé de notre enfance. Un gros coup de cœur! Il y a même les costumes et les marionnettes authentiques et originales!!

For Canada, the Second World War was a global conflict. For individual Canadians, it was personal. Developed to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, Forever Changed weaves together a diverse range of stories with 175 compelling artifacts, exploring the personal experience of war across Canada and around the world.
From a parachutist penning one last letter before being dropped into danger, to a “bomb girl” who was burned on the job; from a prisoner of war who turned to art to cope with the misery, to a Japanese Canadian teenager forced to move 600 kilometres from home; this new exhibition brings to life the impact of the Second World War on the lives of Canadians.
The stories are sometimes poignant, sometimes tragic, sometimes hopeful. All of them are compelling.
Cette exposition présente près de 100 émissions télévisées novatrices qui ont encouragé les enfants de partout au Canada à lire, à écrire et à compter.

FRANKLIN’S EXPEDITION TIMELINE - Quaternary
Explore the enduring mystery behind Sir John Franklin’s tragic expedition. Leaving Britain in 1845 to chart the Northwest Passage through the Arctic, the expedition’s two ships and 129 men never returned. Through historical artifacts and Inuit oral history, this groundbreaking exhibition provides the most comprehensive account to date of Franklin’s final voyage.
In 1845, when Sir John Franklin left Britain in command of the Royal Navy’s most ambitious Northwest Passage expedition, no one could have imagined that one of the world’s greatest mysteries was about to unfold.
May 19, 1845: The Franklin Expedition departed from Greenhithe, near London, England.
July 4, 1845: The ships arrived at the Whale Fish Islands, Greenland, after a stormy Atlantic crossing.
July 12, 1845: Officers and crewmembers mailed their last letters home.
July 29 or 31, 1845: HMS Erebus and Terror were sighted in Baffin Bay by whaling ships. This was the last time the ships and their crews were seen by Europeans.
Winter 1845 to 1846: The expedition spent its first winter in the Arctic off Beechey Island. Three members of the crew died, and were buried on Beechey Island.
Summer 1846: The expedition headed south into Peel Sound.
September 1846 to Spring 1848: The ships were beset — surrounded and stuck in ice — northwest of King William Island.
June 11, 1847: Sir John Franklin died. He was 61 years old and had served in the Royal Navy for 47 years.
April 22, 1848: The expedition had been stuck off of King William Island for over a year and a half. Fearing they would never escape, the men deserted the ships.
April 25, 1848: The men landed on King William Island. Nine officers and 15 seamen had already died. There were 105 survivors. Officers left a note stating their plan to trek to the Back River.
January 20, 1854: Franklin’s Expedition is missing for more than eight years. The Admiralty announce that its officers and men will be declared dead as of March 31, 1854.
1847–1880: More than 30 expeditions sailed, steamed or sledged into the Arctic from the east, west and south. Very few found any trace of the expedition.
2008: A renewed search for Franklin’s ships began under the leadership of Parks Canada.
September 1, 2014: An important clue is found on an island in Wilmot and Crampton Bay: an iron davit pintle (fitting). Parks Canada refocuses its efforts near that island.
September 2, 2014: 167 years after the British Admiralty’s search began, the first wreck, HMS Erebus, is found.
2016: Almost two years to the day after the discovery of Erebus, Terror is located in Terror Bay, off the southern coast of King William Island.

As we look back over this past year’s achievements and toward the opportunities for the upcoming year, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all those who contribute to the success of the Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum.
No one can argue that these are difficult and uncertain times for a lot of people in our community. I follow philanthropic trends closely, and I have noticed that many charitable organizations are seeing a real decline in their donor base and overall giving. This speaks to the importance of engaging closely with our friends and supporters. More than ever, I want to say how much we appreciate you and all those who have supported our Museums over the years. Your vote of confidence and generous support underpin all aspects of our work.
Thanks to your generous contributions, this past year alone we were able to deliver outstanding programs that impacted Canadians from coast to coast to coast, including In Their Own Voices, Witness to History, History Box, Supply Line, and Shaping Canada, as well as a research fellowship at the War Museum.
Your help allows the Museums to accomplish more, have a greater impact, and touch the lives of people living in Canada. Your ongoing commitment is a great source of encouragement and inspiration to us all. THANK YOU! Here’s hoping you have a beautiful summer.
