The museum called Canada

25 rooms of wonder

Edición de la obra The museum called Canada

This show-and-tell book features images of artifacts, fossils, letters, newspaper comic strips, advertisements and manuscripts from various periods in Canadian history. Each image is followed by historian Charlotte Gray’s description of the item - much like a museum guide. The richness of the collection allows readers to feel as if they are handling the original items themselves. This pictorial museum is divided into 25 rooms of exhibits, from the dinosaurs that roamed Canada two billion years ago to Geoffrey Ballard’s hydrogen fuel cell. The book can be enjoyed casually or used as a primary reference source for students of Canadian history.
