The Bruce Museum Goes Digital!
During these challenging times, while our physical doors are closed, stay connected and engaged with the Bruce Museum at Home.
These new online programs will offer the same commitment to promoting the understanding and appreciation of Art and Science as all of the Museum’s regular programs and events. Some of the features now available online include:
Bruce at Home Family Activities:
Museum educators are creating weekly STEAM activities for families with children at home, starting with this fun online lesson about Sinking and Floating.
Digital Weekends with Bruce at Home:
Last weekend we launched an engaging online tutorial from teaching artist Grayson Kennedy about drawing with one-point perspective. Keep an eye out for next week’s lesson, which will give learners a chance to test their boat building skills. Digital Weekend sessions are posted on the Bruce Museum website click here.
Collection Favorites:
Museum staff are sharing their thoughts, historical detail and fun facts about their favorite objects from the Bruce Museum Collection. Find these brief postings on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The series can also be found on this page on our website.
Exhibition Favorites:
In this online series, which debuted Sunday on Instagram, staff and Museum docents revisit past exhibitions and explore what made them so memorable. Docent Becky Gillan starts us off with a fond look back at the popular annual iCreate exhibition of emerging high school student artists. iCreate 2019
