City of Niagara Falls Museums Event

New Exhibits in the OPG Gallery of Niagara Falls History Museum

The Niagara Falls Museums is proud to announce the welcoming of a new travelling exhibit from the Columbus Centre of Toronto; Ordinary Lives, Extraordinary Times: Italian Canadian Experiences During World War II. The exhibit will be open to the public on May 9, until August 30, 2013, at the Niagara Falls History Museum, 5810 Ferry Street.

The exhibition expresses the experiences of Italian Canadians during WWII by focusing on the people who lived through it or who were affected by it. The exhibit conveys the stories, through audio, visual and text, of a cross section of ordinary Italian Canadian men, women and children from communities across Canada. The personal stories of internees, their families, neighbours and fellow community members form the life like experiences of this exhibition.
