Connecting Art & History - Mystery Pieces in the Museum's Collection 


Delta, BC Generally art is a cultural expression of a person's view of the
world. Materials, themes, and compositions work together to tell a story.
Sometimes, the story is enriched over time the more the piece is researched.


 

Seven items chosen from the Delta Museum and Archives Society's collection
for this latest temporary gallery exhibit all have a bit of mystery to them.
Perhaps this exhibit will help to unravel the story of how the item came to
be in the museum's collection, from where it was obtained, and how each item
tells a story that contributes to the identity of Delta. Sometimes, the
story is a best guess until we learn more. Perhaps visitors to the art
exhibit can contribute to the information the museum has to help round out
each item's story. 

 

Young people can also contribute to the exhibit by creating pieces for
display using provided materials that depict weekly themes. These themes
will all be about Delta and how we feel about this wonderful area we share
as home. What stories can you tell? 

 

The Connecting Art to History exhibit will be on display in the Delta
Museum's temporary gallery from July 9 to September 4, 2015. The Museum,
located in the heart of Ladner Village at 4858 Delta Street, Ladner, is open
to the public Tuesday to Friday, 9:30am to 4:30pm. For further information,
please call 604-946-9322 or visit our website at www.deltamuseum.ca. 

 

The Delta Museum and Archives Society is a registered charitable
organization whose mission is to celebrate Delta's rich cultural and natural
heritage, and to encourage awareness and education through preservation,
research, exhibitions, outreach and collaboration.
