The Chatham-Kent Museum has announced the opening of three new exhibitions on May 7, 2025.
On the Trail of the Monarch Butterfly features breathtaking photographs taken by Francisco Gutiérrez.
In August 2005, Mexican filmmaker and pilot, Francisco Gutiérrez, took off in his ultralight aircraft from Montreal to follow the monarch butterflies on their 6,000 km migration from Canada to the mountains of central Mexico. His objective was to raise awareness of the importance of preserving the butterflies’ habitat.
In collaboration with the Embassy of Mexico, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum has produced this panel exhibition from the material recorded by Gutiérrez on his journey.
French in Canada invites visitors to discover the dynamic history and different dialects of Canadian French that have shaped contemporary Francophone communities across Canada.
This bilingual travelling exhibit was produced by the Canadian Language Museum.
You Will Like It! highlights the CK Museum’s own Gray-Dort motor car.
This Gray-Dort is widely recognized as one of the most complete and original examples of the vehicle in existence.
The CK Museum’s Imagination Station provides engaging, hands-on activities for every age and learner to continue the adventure.
Come explore local history on the shelves of Out in the Open, a visible artifact storage area in the exhibition galleries of the museum.
Visitors can grab a flashlight and peruse almost 5,000 artifacts from the museum’s three-dimensional artifact collection.
All three new exhibitions will be on display May 7 to October 12, 2025.
The Chatham-Kent Museum is open for drop-in visits Wednesday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
