February WINTER FEST

This year our annual event will look a bit different. Ice carving will be located in the Greenwood Campground adjacent the gazebo. Each ice sculpture will feature local animals! Inside the gazebo we will have an ice chair or 'thrown' and we encourage everyone to "TAKE A SELFIE". We have set up a filter on Snapchat and Instagram and want you to share your selfie with the museum and Town of Sundre. When you do your name will be entered for a free family museum pass. The ice sculptures will be ready to enjoy family day long weekend, February 13th until the ice melts. Shake things up this family day long weekend! 

Since we cannot have our local art show and sale, the museum is going to create an online artist and artisan directory. If you are looking for some unique, one of a kind pieces of art look no further. Support our local artists. What kind of artists? ALL kinds! We have fine art, sculpture, fabric, metal, quilt, singer, songwriter, instrumental, and everything else under the sun. Click HERE to see who we have so far and contact the museum to have your name added. In addition, we are working with Humble Pie Productions to create a local artist / artisan marketing video.

May 18th - International Museum Day

Each year we celebrate museums! The objective of International Museum Day (IMD) is to raise awareness about the fact that, “Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples.” Organized on 18 May each year or around this date, the events and activities planned to celebrate International Museum Day can last a day, a weekend or an entire week. IMD was celebrated for the first time 40 years ago. All around the world, more and more museums participate in International Museum Day. Last year, more than 37,000 museums participated in the event in about 158 countries and territories.
