It's an ill wind ... The temporary closure of the Canada Science and Technology Museum has provided an opportunity for Library and Archives Canada to host a timely exhibit Echoes in the Ice: Finding Franklin's Ship.
LAC stopped mounting exhibitions, seemingly almost closing the facility at 395 Wellington Street in Ottawa. Now under the leadership of Guy Berthiaume that trend is reversed, at least for this occasion.
There a press release here.
Will the trend continue? Perhaps LAC will mount a permanent display of significant items from Canada's documentary heritage from the organization collection giving tourists a reason to visit the building.
I was there on Saturday and saw the display. It's very good. Cheers.
