点评:This is a great treasure of Canadiana history and the history of the canoe in (primarily) North American history. Coverage in the historic collection cover West, Central, Northern, and Eastern indigenous canoe/kayak items of exceptional quality and historical authenticity. Great respect shown for the indigenous history and contributions to the collection. Wonderful selection of birch bark and dugout canoes. The area devoted to the fur trade and the Voyageurs (Courriers du Bois) is exceptionally well done. Many hands on experiences for young and old. Many curated live displays of workshops and audiance experiences with artisans and actual live demonstrations of workmanship are normally part of the exhibits. This has been suspended during COVID). Nice little gift shop as well. This display will be moving to a brand new exhibition building in about 2 years and the preparations to move the collection are underway. I especially liked the small display of Pierre Elliot Trudeau and his famous deerskin jacket.
翻译:这是加拿大历史和(主要)北美历史上独木舟历史的一大宝藏。历史收藏品涵盖西部、中部、北部和东部土著独木舟/皮划艇项目,质量上乘,具有历史真实性。对土著历史和对收藏的贡献表示极大的尊重。精选白桦树皮和独木舟。专门用于毛皮贸易和 Voyageurs (Courriers du Bois) 的区域做得非常好。老少皆宜的许多实践经验。许多精心策划的车间现场展示和工匠的观众体验以及工艺的实际现场演示通常是展品的一部分。这已在 COVID 期间暂停)。不错的小礼品店。该展览将在大约 2 年内搬迁至全新的展览大楼,目前正在筹备搬迁藏品的工作。我特别喜欢 Pierre Elliot Trudeau 和他著名的鹿皮夹克的小型展示。
