The Peterborough Museum & Archives (PMA) will mark the anniversary of its opening 57 years ago on Oct. 27 with Beyond the Galleries tours.
Visitors will look in-depth at rarely-seen items in the PMA’s extensive collection. The tours, guided by the knowledgeable PMA Curatorial Team, promise an intimate experience with a collection that reflects the Peterborough community's heritage, art and culture.
Tours start at 12:15 p.m., 1:15 p.m., 2:15 p.m. and 3:15 p.m.
Tickets are $10 per person (plus HST) and available for purchase online in person at the PMA or by phone at 705-743-5180.
Each tour will last 45 minutes and can accommodate up to 20 participants.
In addition to Beyond the Galleries, the Holodomor Mobile Classroom will be on-site on Oct. 27, offering visitors even more opportunities to explore and engage.
The Holodomor National Awareness Tour (HNAT) is a project of the Canada-Ukraine Foundation, a not-for-profit charitable organization. According to the foundation, the mandate of the project is to build bridges among communities to promote inter-culture understanding, awareness and respect for the democratic values that Canadians hold dear. This includes the importance of human rights, the rule of law and human dignity, told through the lens of the Holodomor Famine-Genocide in Ukraine of 1932-1933.
Visits to the Holodomor Mobile Classroom are free of charge.
