A cart, or gig, in the former Agriculture Museum at the Central Experimental Farm, circa 1937

Agriculture Museums on the Central Experimental Farm

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum (CAFM) officially opened on October 12, 1983, 40 years ago this month. The federal agriculture minister at the time, Eugene Whelan, was on hand to help launch it. He remarked that the Central Experimental Farm (CEF) already showed visitors the present and future of agriculture. With the museum, the site now also demonstrated the past. That day, CAFM opened two exhibitions, Haying in Canada—from Scythe to Forage Harvester and An Ontario Barn in the 1920s

As the world, err, as the wheel turns; Or, How / why SS Klondike, a cargo-carrying sternwheeler river boat briefly used for river cruises, became one of Parks Canada’s 1,004 national historic sites, part 3

Welcome back, my reading friend, and… I know, I know. I pledged several moons ago to strive toward brevity. It is just that this story of SS Klondike, a cargo-carrying sternwheeler river boat, river cruise ship and national historic site, is really quite interesting. And I see you nodding in agreement. Yes, yes, you did. Do not deny it. In any event, by November 1959, rumours, accurate rumours as it turned out, circulated to the effect that Canada’s Department of Northern Affairs and Natural

Captive Labour

Camilla Leonelli Calzado

Toronto Metropolitan University

In November 2022, we curated an exhibition called Captive Labour at the Catalyst, an event space on the Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) campus. The exhibition highlighted historical and current labour programs within the Canadian penitentiary system and was inspired by artifacts in TMU’s Fashion Research Collection. These objects were transferred from Ingenium’s collection in 2020. Ingenium still maintains a number of artifacts from the Kingston Penitentiary in its collection.

“Is a frog game or fish? There is the rub.” A brief look at the history of ranaculture in Canada and Québec, Part 1

Rénald Fortier

Ingenium – Canada's…

Do not close this webpage, my reader friend disturbed / alarmed by our topic for today! Yours truly realises that the breeding of frogs for the purpose of consuming their legs, in other words ranaculture, can be a rather off-putting subject. This being said (typed?), it is a topic which fits very well within the mandate of the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario, a brother / sister museal institution of the terrifically good Canada Aviation and Space Museum, also located in

The Shell By-Plane X 100 Astroterramare of Professor Septimus Urge (far right), Pleasure Gardens of the Festival of Britain, Battersea Park, London, England. Anon., “New British Jet Unique, but Not Matchless.” Aviation Week, 18 August 1952, 44.

Heath Robinson / Rube Goldberg machines that Heath Robinson and “Rube” Goldberg themselves would have approved of; Or, The wonderful world of Frederick Rowland Emett and his things

Greetings, my reading friend. How are you this week? May I offer you the caption of the photographs you just saw, my reading… Err, why the puzzled look? Please do not tell me that the names Heath Robinson and / or “Rube” Goldberg do not ring a bell. It is too early in the day for such a shocking revelation. Sigh… What do children learn in school these days? You do realise that, by forcing me to explain who William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) and Reuben Garrett Lucius “Rube” Goldberg (1883-1970)
