Okanagan Heritage Museum

Weird & Wonderful

October 25, 2025 to April 6, 2026
Okanagan Heritage Museum

Museum staff scoured the collection to bring you some of our most curious and extraordinary objects. Of course, what makes something ‘weird’ or ‘wonderful’ is always a matter of perspective, influenced by time, culture, and individual experience.

This exhibition invites you to challenge your own assumptions. Discover the personal stories behind why staff chose the unique objects on display, giggle at the imaginative object descriptions from local schoolchildren, and test your detective skills by identifying mystery artifacts.

Come enjoy this weird and wonderful look at our collection!
