Free admission, all are welcome!

From a Communist Doctor to Madonna's Cone Bra: Museums and Cultural Diplomacy in Troubled Times:
Why, in the middle of the Cold War, would the Canadian government create a museum at the birthplace of the relatively unknown Canadian听communist听Norman Bethune? Why would a Montreal art gallery develop and tour exhibitions of French fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier? Dr.听Anne听Dymond听explores the mobilization of Canada鈥檚 art and museums for political purposes, starting with Canada鈥檚 engagement with China in the early 1970s. Her lively presentation of fascinating objects reveals how in troubled times, art and museums can act as bridges that connect us across challenging divides.
