On Wednesday, April 19, to quote environmental scientist and educator Donella Meadows: “Everything is connected to everything else on this planet. This can be good news as well as bad”. So finish off your visit to the Redpath Museum by reflecting on connections through a temporary interactive activity.
On Friday, April 21, meet artist Milton Riaño, who designed one of the museum's temporary exhibitions. Milton will be in our galleries Friday from 1 pm to 3 pm to engage with everyone! Visitors will also have a chance to contribute and respond to Milton's installation!
On Saturday, April 22nd, come for a regular visit, or participate in our special Earth Day tour.

Finish the tour with an interactive activity that connects us all, before getting the chance to plant seeds for a more colourful and beautiful future.
