Western Development Museum Saskatoon and Canadian Museum History

photography studio: The principle exhibit is Boomtown, a re-creation of a typical prairie town circa 1910, according to CTV. Kids will love the opportunity to chat with blacksmiths, sit in a vintage car and dress up in the photography studio. The Western Development Museum in Saskatoon is one of the best I have seen. For older kids and adults, there is a fantastic exhibit on the immigrant experience from arrival to present day. Within the museum walls kids can travel the world; play with shadow puppets from Thailand, try on a kimono from Japan, relax in a Bedouin camp, shop a market in France or drive a brightly-coloured Pakistani bus. The Canadian Children Museum is housed within the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, just across the Ottawa River from Ottawa. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
