The Frozen Northwest: Winter in Northwestern Ontario
January 2 – April 29, 2018
Winter has always been, and continues to be, a part of life in the unforgiving landscape of Northwestern Ontario. From the area’s Ojibway inhabitants to settlers in Thunder Bay’s industrial heyday, the people who lived here have not only adapted to winter in their daily lives, they have thrived in it. They have found ways of living comfortably, working in harsh conditions, moving from place to place, as well as ways to have fun in the long, cold winter.
Susan Ross: From the Lakehead to the Arctic
April 12 – June 17, 2018
Susan Ross, known for her depictions of First Nations and Inuit life in the north, was one of Thunder Bay’s most notable artists. This exhibit encompasses a selection of her paintings and prints on loan from a variety of individuals and organizations, as well as from the museum’s permanent collection.
