Winter Exhibit Opening

01Celebrate the Winter Exhibits

Come out to celebrate the opening of our winter exhibits: All Abuzz: The Life of Bees and Nesting Instinct: Amy Swartz.

All Abuzz: The Life of Bees
Discover the fascinating world of bees and their vital role in both the environment and human history. This exhibit highlights the deep connection between bees and humans that has existed for centuries, revealing their importance to our ecosystems and livelihoods.

Nesting Instinct: Amy Swartz
With Nesting Instinct, Toronto artist Amy Swartz creates highly detailed and meticulously crafted tableaux to explore how insect nesting behaviour is mirrored in the way humans attempt to claim, organize, and defend their surroundings. Nesting Instinct encourages viewers to reflect on how our behaviours are often a way to gain control over nature, life, and death.
