Travelling Exhibit Opening Jan 29, 2011

Two Views: Photography by Ansel Adams and Leonard Frank
January 29th - April 23, 2011. Open Daily, 10am - 4pm. Admission is by donation.

Created by the Japanese Canadian National Museum in Burnaby, this temporary exhibit is an extensive collection of black and white photographs taken by Ansel Adams and Leonard Frank during the internment of Japanese Americans and Japanese Canadians in the early years of World War II. This wartime measure called into question the nature of civil rights, national identity, and nationalism, and had a lasting effect on generations to come. This exhibit is a wonderful opportunity for us to showcase and reflect upon broader themes and different times in British Columbian history.

Join us for the Exhibit Grand Opening on Saturday, January 29th from 5pm - 7pm.
