Exhibitions
Each year we offer guests a look at artifacts that are not ordinarily on display in our heritage buildings. If you think you've seen all there is to see at the museum village, come back and check out our exhibits in the modest Temporary Gallery space off of the Gift Shop! Season Pass holders get an exclusive opportunity to "meet the specialist" just before each exhibit opens. If you don't have a pass, consider buying one this year.

Seasons and Twin Pass Holders are invited to an exclusive evening at the museum village to speak with the exhibits specialist, and learn how this exhibit was researched, planned, and installed.
My Life is A Museum
May 1 - August 31, 2013
Museums collect "things", artifacts, which tell the story of who we are as a community. Your life is also a museum, based on the things you have collected over the years. Be a curator and share them with us in a unique online exhibit experience! Upload a photo of your 'artifact' on our Facebook page with a brief description to enter the contest for a chance to be featured in our Top Ten and win one of our fabulous prizes! Each item will be featured on our Pinterest page.
As part of Museum Month, our Life Is A Museum virtual exhibit and contest start on May 1!
Official rules available online or on paper at the Pickering Museum Village.

A Family Story: The Asahel Scott Box
September 7 - September 29, 2013
Saturdays - 10:00 am to 4:30 pm
Sundays - 12:00 pm to 4:30 pm
Pickering played a huge role in the Rebellion of 1837, sending the largest contingent of rebels. Following the uprising, thousands of men were imprisoned across Upper Canada, to await trial as traitors. Learn the story of one Pickering man's decision to follow Peter Matthews, and the consequences to his young family. His box, bearing the words “Liberty” on one end, and “Equal Rights” on the other end was made by Asahel Scott of Pickering for his 5-year old daughter, and is the highlight of this rebellion-themed exhibit.
