Community invited to Fleming College student exhibit opening at the Peterborough Museum & Archives
Peterborough, ON – (April 9, 2025) – The Peterborough Museum & Archives is inviting the community to a special opening celebration for its newest exhibit, Collecting Memories: Objects That Define Us, on Thursday, April 17, 2025, from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Heideman Gallery.
The exhibit is a collaboration with students from Fleming College’s Museum Management and Curatorship program. Working as a team, students researched, wrote, planned and designed the exhibit, which explores the personal and shared significance of everyday objects in shaping memory and identity.
The partnership gives students valuable hands-on experience that brings their learning to life. This year’s exhibit explores how personal objects connect individuals to the past, spark memory and tell powerful stories.
Opening remarks will begin at 2:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be served, and all are welcome. Admission is by donation.
The exhibit opened to the public on Saturday, March 29, 2025, and will remain on display until Sunday, June 15, 2025.
