Experience the triumphs, failures, and sacrifices that have shaped Canada’s history at the New Brunswick Museum’s latest travelling exhibition, Snapshots of Canada.
This powerful collection of 50 photographs, paired with thought-provoking texts by Canada’s leading historians, authors, and journalists, invites you to relive the moments that have made us who we are today.
From the trial of Métis leader Louis Riel to Paul Henderson’s winning goal in the 1972 Summit Series, and from the deportation of Japanese-Canadians after the Second World War to the standoff at Oka, these images and stories reveal the complexities and contradictions of our shared past. This exhibition, curated from the acclaimed books “100 Photos That Changed Canada” and “100 Days That Changed Canada,” takes visitors through four perspectives: Building a Country, Living Together, Seeking Justice, and Celebrating Culture.
Featuring contributions from Charlotte Gray, Lawrence Hill, Desmond Morton, and Peter Mansbridge, among others, Snapshots of Canada is a moving and thought-provoking exploration of Canadian identity. Don’t miss this chance to reflect on our past, present, and future as a nation. On display at the New Brunswick Museum Exhibition Centre from February 6 to May 17, 2020.
