Home is more than a building, it’s where the heart is and where your own personal memories lie.
That’s the idea behind the Galt Museum’s new exhibit “Recollecting home, running at the Galt Museum Feb. 1-May 5.
“ The idea is to explore different ideas of home from people in the community, ” summarized curator Aimee Benoit.
So last year, the Galt Museum put out a call on social media for people to select items from the Galt Museum’s archives and write a story about their personal memories of the items.
“ We got close to 60 participants. It’s similar to the Treasuries and Curiosities exhibit,”’ said Benoit.
It is an opportunity for us to connect to the community as well as for the community to get a behind the scenes experience,” she said.
There are several different of similarly themed items, including music, chores, kitchen and several other categories.
