121. Learning in Museums - Visiting 9 Ottawa Museums in 3 Days

This is a special episode in which I’m reflecting on a unique experience that I undertook: visiting 9 Ottawa museums in just 3 days to explore how each one creates meaningful, accessible, and inspiring learning experiences.

This whirlwind tour includes 7 of Canada’s national museums:

Canada Agriculture and Food Museum - https://ingeniumcanada.org/cafm

Canada Aviation and Space Museum - https://ingeniumcanada.org/casm

Canadian Museum of History - https://www.historymuseum.ca

Canadian Museum of Nature - http://nature.ca

Canada Science and Technology Museum - http://ingeniumcanada.org

Canadian War Museum - https://www.warmuseum.ca

National Gallery of Canada (Including an interview with Kathryn Lyons, Director of Learning and Community Engagement - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathryn-lyons-48a6253/ )

Plus, two additional Ottawa landmarks:

Royal Canadian Mint -  https://www.mint.ca/en

Bytown Museum - http://bytownmuseum.ca

While each of these remarkable museums easily warrants a full day, I’m using the new 3-Day Museum Pass from Ottawa Tourism, which is a great way to see what each museum has to offer.
