When we are reopening the museum on July 14 we recognize that some of you may not be ready to come back and visit the museum just yet. And that is OK. We will continue to share fun virtual content and develop new online programs that you can enjoy from the comfort of your home. Her
Here are some resources you can continue to explore and enjoy from home!
| 3-D Virtual Tour |
| You can explore our historic house with this 3-D Virtual Tour. The tour allows you to move through each of Glanmore’s rooms virtually with a 360 degree view. You can go beyond the rope barriers, look up, look down and all around! |
| Video Tour |
| Want to tour our exhibits? Here are some links to video tours:
Historic House Tour (7:18 min.) Canada At Play Exhibit (7:32 min) |
| Artifacts Online |
| Explore our artifact collection from the comfort of your home. Glanmore’s online artifact database allows you to see close up photographs and information about artifacts. We are working to add more artifacts to the database everyday. In fact, more than 700 artifacts were added to the database in late March and early April of 2020! |
| Virtual Mini-Exhibits |
| While the museum is closed we have created “Exhibits from Isolation'” on Facebook. These mini virtual exhibits feature a photo album highlighting an area of the museum’s collection. The first exhibit features examples of beautiful cloisonne from the Couldery Collection. More mini virtual exhibits are currently under development so stay tuned! |
| Artifacts Picks |
| Over the past few years our staff have recorded more than two dozen Artifact Pick Videos. In each of these short videos (most only 2 to 3 minutes long) we highlight and share information about an interesting artifact in our collection. |
| Restoration |
| These videos provide an great way to learn more about some of our restoration projects.
Educational Activities for Children Check out some heritage inspired activities you can do with children with these simple instructional videos. We will be adding more educational resources in the coming days. |
| Flattie Hattie |
|
Meet Flattie Hattie, our new museum mascot. She is a paper doll made from an 1880s ladies fashion plate image. While Glanmore is closed to the public Flattie Hattie has kept busy exploring and sharing her adventures around Glanmore on our Facebook and Instagram channels. Follow along to see what she gets up to! |
| Just For Fun! |
| Have you ever heard of the Museum Dance Off? Glanmore entered and won the Canadian Championships in both 2018 and 2017. For a bit of entertainment you can watch our award winning Dance Off videos. They are sure bring a smile to your face!
We created some online jigsaw puzzles to keep you busy and entertained. The puzzles feature photography of the historic site, paintings and artifacts in our collection and even our dear Flattie Hattie! There are a variety of levels of difficulty available. Give our jigsaw puzzles a try! |
