Museum calling all collectors

The Wellington County Museum and Archives wants to hear from collectors.

The museum is inviting people of all ages to showcase their collections throughout the year in a new program, Wellington County Collects.

“We know that many people collect things. From alarm clocks and tea pots, to toys and tools and everything in between, we’re inviting county residents to be our guest curators and put their special collections on display,” said curatorial assistant Amy Dunlop. “From the weird to the wonderful, it doesn’t matter what the collection is.”

The museum hopes to feature a new collection every four months. The only restriction is that the collection must fit inside the display case in the new archives.

To bring a collection to the museum for consideration,  contact Dunlop at 519-846-0916 ext. 5232 or amyd@wellington.ca.

Galleries are open weekdays 9:30am to 4:30pm and weekends 12 to 4pm.
