The collector vs. the director: Bob Rennie and the VAG
The Globe and Mail Share/Partager 
 The rain was falling and the Blue Mountain Brut was flowing on the rooftoop of the Rennie Collection at 
Wing Sang as guests, protected under a giant white tent, toasted visiting Tate director Nicholas Serota with 
a dinner put on by the collection's founder: Bob Rennie, condo king and art collector and provocateur.

Adad Hannah: tableaux vivants du Mexique à la Russie
La Presse Share/Partager 
 Ses tableaux vivants ont bien du succès dans le monde de l'art. L'artiste montréalais Adad Hannah 
poursuit sa carrière internationale cet été: le musée Tamayo de Mexico et le San Antonio Museum of Art, 
au Texas, lui ont commandé des oeuvres qu'il présentera dans quelques semaines. More/LIRE PLUS

Arctic orchids and other delights
Ottawa Citizen Share/Partager 
 Travelling the Arctic with shotguns on their backs, four botanists from the Canadian Museum of Nature 
have been unlocking secret plant life: unusual ferns, Arctic versions of dandelions, even orchids. They flew 
through rapids in canoes crammed with science gear and found 'carpets' of bright flowers, almost no 
weeds, and many plants that science has never identified. More/LIRE PLUS

Want a job? CMHR is probably hiring
Winnipeg Sun Share/Partager 
 The beleaguered Canadian Museum for Human Rights - fraught with delays, massive cost-overruns, 
funding shortfalls and high-ranking resignations - won't open until 2014 at the earliest. But that hasn't 
stopped museum brass from bulking up its taxpayer-funded workforce, which now stands at 68 employees 
with an annual payroll of $5 million. More/LIRE PLUS

Peinture actuelle au Musée régional de Rimouski
Le Devoir Share/Partager 
 Le Musée régional de Rimouski (MRR) fait la part belle à la peinture cet été avec deux expositions qui 
défendent des aspects très actuels de la pratique picturale. C'est le cas de David Lafrance qui, pour sa 
première exposition muséale, présente ses tableaux dans un ensemble scénographié incluant sculptures et 
bande sonore. More/LIRE PLUS

Mystery at the military museum
Vancouver Province Share/Partager 
 Among the treasures unearthed as Seaforth Armoury is being cleaned out for renovation is a passport 
from 1890. It was in an envelope in a pile of magazines dropped off at the desk of Capt. Rob MacDonald, 
curator of the Armoury Museum and regimental historian of the Seaforth Highlanders who use the Burrard 
Street facility. More/LIRE PLUS

Turtle celebrates 90 with berries and a bash
The Canadian Press Share/Partager 
 Gus the tortoise celebrated his 90th birthday with almost 1,000 people at the Museum of Nature in Halifax. 
Museum staff believe Gus, who is barely bigger than a kitten, is the oldest gopher turtle in the world. They 
estimate he hatched sometime between 1920 and 1925. His guests were treated to birthday cake and 
lemonade, but Gus himself dined on organic blueberries and strawberries. The fruit was a 'special treat' for 
the almost-century-old tortoise. More/LIRE PLUS

Moving historic aircraft to museum a 'labour of love'
Calgary Herald Share/Partager 
 Two Rolls-Royce engines, each weighing more than 400 kilograms, a 13-metre-long fuselage and a box 
labelled Mosquito nose cone were some of the hundreds of items that arrived at the Bomber Command 
Museum recently. More/LIRE PLUS

Tiny James Naismith museum is no bull
Ottawa Citizen Share/Partager 
 James Naismith doesn't quite play basketball, but if you throw a ball at him, he'll jump. And maybe even 
moo. James Naismith is Stephen Overbury's pet bull, named after the famed Canadian founder of 
basketball. More/LIRE PLUS

Une Plutonienne au musée
La Presse Share/Partager 
 Jusqu'au 3 septembre, le Musée de la culture populaire de Trois-Rivières abrite entre ses murs une 
étrange créature: une Plutonienne, touriste fraîchement débarquée de Pluton. Intriguée par la culture 
québécoise, elle invite les familles àparticiper à un rallye-enquête dans les différentes salles d'exposition.

Historic globe project hits stumbling block for former Victorian
Victoria News Share/Partager 
 A former provincial heritage minister is irate after the Royal B.C. Museum backed out of an agreement to 
exhibit evidence that, if true, would upend B.C.'s history books. For the past three years, Sam Bawlf has 
been lobbying the government to digitize and display a Molyneux globe, a 415-year-old map created after 
Sir Francis Drake's voyage around the world from 1577 to 1580. More/LIRE PLUS
