FOR HISTORY LOVERS
Let’s be honest. We all know that dads always know everything about everything! What would you say to topping off the paternal know-it-all toolkit with women’s perspectives on war? They can see a different point of view on the military history of Canada, through the eyes of 52 female artists at the new special exhibition Outside the Lines at the Canadian War Museum. Explore wars and related conflicts through creations made over the course of more than two centuries, including paintings, sculptures and textiles. This exhibition is a captivating immersion into an often overlooked aspect of our heritage.
