THROWBACK THURSDAY!
For our first TBT we thought we'd start with this pretty little electric teapot. It was made circa 1968 by Royal Canadian Art Pottery in Hamilton, ON.

When you visit us remember to check out Cool Science. Producing hydroelectricity is about more than just turning on a switch.

Scooter's learning about Manitoba Hydro's Northern Boat Patrol Program. The patrol covers more than 100,000 kilometers every year!
The Manitoba Electrical Museum & Education Centre has many different stories to tell.

Scooter is having tea and imagining he's listening to a gramophone.
This 1920s Victor Victrola is our museum's current Feature Artifact.

Think this 1949 Westinghouse stand mixer could still handle Thanksgiving dinner prep? We wouldn’t bet against it! Here’s to the cooks and bakers making magic (and mess) in the kitchen this. Happy Thanksgiving from the Manitoba Electrical Museum! 🦃
