  • Annual Report 2017 2017 Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 2017 ANNUAL REPORT A REPORT FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2017 saw Museum London celebrate its 37th year at the Forks of the Thames and we started construction on our Centre at the Forks initiative, a project that we think will redefine our place at this location. Centre at the Forks, slated to be in operation this summer, will engage Londoners and visitors alike by delivering innovation in Museum design and programming while contributing to the revitalization of the Forks of the Thames. The project will showcase an expansive, panoramic two-story window and an outdoor terrace, linking Museum London and the Forks of the Thames in a dynamic new relationship at the historic heart of London. Although we are not open yet, the response of those who have toured the construction site has been overwhelmingly positive and we are excited to share it with the community. 2017 was also another strong year for providing our community with an outstanding array of art and history exhibitions. To celebrate Canada’s sesquicentennial, the Museum mounted Highlights from 150 Years of Art-Making in London alongside Canadian Eh? A History of the Nation’s Signs and Symbols. We explored the nature of sight and sound with the exhibitions Sparrow Night, Sounds Assembling, and Airwaves: Radio and TV in London, as well as featuring exhibitions that documented the careers of artist Brian Jones and Robert Fones. All these exhibitions were complemented by an expansive program schedule led by our new Curator of Public Programs Anita Bidinosti. While continuing to run our numerous family drop-ins, children’s camps, adult art classes, history walks, and seniors’ talks, the Museum also began expanding its innovative programming.
