Upcoming Museum in the Community Talk
Jonathan and Beth Eayres will present a Museum in the Community talk on Wednesday, August 26 at 2 pm, featuring the Mahone Portrait House, Canada’s own portrait gallery in Mahone Bay. The privately owned collection, located at 572 Main St., showcases more than 100 works by significant Canadian artists, including Alex Colville, David Blackwood, William Kurelek, Joyce Wieland, and Ozias Leduc.
Housed in a 19th-century shipwright’s home, the gallery explores Canadian history and identity through portraiture, with local connections and a national scope. The talk will include a 20-minute tour of the collection, followed by refreshments and an opportunity to socialize.

Join us at the Mahone Bay Museum every Saturday this summer from 12:00 to 4:00 pm for a fun and educational craft activity designed for kids. Led by our new Public Programmer, Lexie Whynot-Dowse, each session features a different hands-on museum craft.
Admission to the museum is free, and colouring pages will be available for younger children. All ages are welcome to enjoy the museum while kids take part in the activities. We look forward to seeing you this summer!
