Don't miss "Broken Promises", our powerful travell Don't miss "Broken Promises", our powerful travelling exhibition from the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre @NikkeiMuseum, before it closes on June 22!

If you haven't seen it yet, now's the perfect time to visit the Okanagan Heritage Museum. It's hot outside, but we've got great A/C to keep you cool while you explore.

This exhibition offers timely lessons from the past about how we treat our friends and neighbours. Come reflect on its important message before it's gone!

Meet Jas, our Head of Exhibitions! Jas works clos Meet Jas, our Head of Exhibitions!

Jas works closely with the Curatorial team to bring museum displays to life, ensuring visitors have an engaging experience. Her work can range from research and writing to graphic design, artifact selection, gallery prep, and installing displays. Next time you visit, take a moment to appreciate all the work that happens behind the scenes.
 
“I love both the constant learning and the sharing of knowledge. I’m a huge nerd, so getting to deep-dive into something new with each exhibit is pretty awesome! Hearing visitors say things to each other like ‘oh wow, did you know…?’ or ‘they say here that…’ (then proceed to read from the exhibit text) is so satisfying because it means our work is having an impact on them.” 

One afternoon, Jas observed a group of boys running excitedly towards a fashion display. She heard their friend hollering to the rest of the group to come take a look: “You guys have to see this! It’s a… it’s a…. BRA!” Their mix of joy and horror was something to behold!

With the UV index on the rise, it's the perfect ti With the UV index on the rise, it's the perfect time for a friendly reminder to stay sun safe! And what better way to embrace sun protection than with fabulous hat fashion?

As we were looking through the collection at the Okanagan Heritage Museum, we came across this charming woven raffia hat, beautifully adorned with blue and yellow silk flowers. We can just imagine its original owner wearing it while enjoying a summer picnic in City Park.

Don't forget to join us tomorrow! Kelowna’s sec Don't forget to join us tomorrow!

Kelowna’s second annual Queer Zine Fair, hosted by Kelowna Museums and the University of British Columbia Okanagan Library at the beautiful Laurel Packinghouse on June 5th, 6:00 – 8:00 PM!

The queer zine fair will showcase and celebrate zines created by 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals or focusing on 2SLGBTQIA+ themes. Queer artists, writers, and creatives can sign up for free to sell, trade, or give away their zines.

Zines have been a powerful underground and DIY force of expression and cultural movement in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community since the ‘70s. Newbies are invited to come learn more!

At 8:15 PM, the fair will be followed by an open mic where attendees or exhibitors will be invited to further share their creativity. Sign up at the event to share spoken word, music, comedy, or read passages from your zines aloud.
