Many of the photographers were dispatched by the government or railroad companies with surveying teams, Ruiz said. To get people involved, the museum held a workshop for 20 amateur photographers and sent them out to take pictures of Ontario's historic buildings. The pictures were matched with historical photographs of the same buildings and hung as a collage. The galleries are open from noon until 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. Admission is free.
Patrons leave the museum after a visit.
The exhibits runs through Oct 11.
