See the names of the Black Loyalists etched in glass at the Black Loyalist Heritage Centre. In 1783, their names were written in the Book of Negroes as they left New York on British ships for Nova Scotia. 1/3 #AHM2021 #AfricanHeritageMonth https://t.co/TLjNxiMhFX

For #MuseumSelfieDay I sure hope pictures of Lego me count! I like to travel with minifigures and take photos on my adventures. This adventure was when my husband and I went to Niagara Falls, Canada. We are excited to see everyone's #MuseumSelfie!

It's okay to take it slow today, take it from this lovely Burmese star tortoise from @TheTorontoZoo, going at your pace is the best pace to go.

I think it's safe to say we're all missing our theatres right now...

So just for fun, let's have a look back to where it all began in 1953 – as a canvas tent standing over a wooden thrust stage. We can't wait to be back on it! #ThrowbackThursday

One of my favourite #MuseumsInTheWild or I suppose #GalleryInTheWild is more accurate for this is street art / Graffiti. I love passing by and seeing all the creativity and intricate detail work. These pieces were from a trip to Graffiti Alley in Toronto a few years back.

The Museum we visited the most in 2020 was our Museums in Animal Crossing. I am looking forward to completing the collection this year as I missed some bugs and sea creatures along the way. (I know I can Time Travel, but I am okay to wait).

Pattern is made in 2 ways: stamping substances onto the cloth using carved wooden blocks, or painting them with a bamboo or kalam pen. 🖌️

Indian artisans’ combined skills in weaving cotton, painting, printing, dyeing, bleaching, and glazing made their cloth superior. #ROMChintz
